Wilsons Sandbox

There is a vertical bar under the wing fuel tank on the right front side of the bike. Good place to attach electrical blocks. Doesn't take long to access. This KLRista has some good pics of the area. Getting rid of the glass fuses and replacing them with mini blades. Was one of the best things ever. Jim Fortner Plano, TX

That cover is easier to get at if/when you need to replace a fuse. Definitely go with mini-blade fuses.   Don M
