Default 74 FXE circuit breakers

Need to know the amps rating on the circuit breaker that attaches to the battery and the 3 attached to the rear fender. I'm making a 72 FX kick start into a 73 FXE, so a bit of rewiring is coming up!

you could omit the fender circuit brakers by using one 30 amp on the battery but it does get busy on the feeder line on a machine that has lots of stuff

30 amp is a go to for the battery what ever you do - the others are always 15 amp and today we use the sealed plastic one's rather then the metal

Thank you for the photos, shows exactly where they need to be. I'm going to use a 5 terminal Bosch relay for the starter. The bikes a 72 FX (originally kick only) but somewhere in it's life it got electrified. But Bubba did the wiring, and what a mess.

Got a 74 FXE wiring harness and will be done right upon reassembly.
