Default Breakers

Anyone know what the amp rating should be on the battery attached breaker? I am feeding 3 15 amp breakers to run everything and I cannot find the amp rating on the main breaker...
Thanks in advance,
ShovelheadGreg

I run a 30, you can get them anywhere from 15 to 50. I believe 30 was stock. I also run three 15 amp breakers under the seat for each circuit.

Service manual for my '80 FXE states that the main breaker is 30a.
