Hello Hunter,
I was planning on trying a fuse block available from J.C.Whitney, part
no.03DY7115W described as an "Auxiliary Fuse Block" for $24.95.
"High-heat-resistant ABS plastic housing" with "clear Lexan cover." Holds six
"blade" type fuses (as used on most all new cars) and has spade type
connectors. Check it out on their website @ www.jcwhitney.com and search by the
part no. Better picture than in the catalog, no typos in the description
either.:-) Also, Moto International has one described as a "better quality"
fuse panel for about $40 if I remember correctly. Cheers,
Charlie

The crispy critters are from the headlight circuit. In reality (where I sometimes visit) anything on the bike that drew a high current for a fairly long time would melt something. I have always admired the Italian Wiring Credo: May parts and wires die so that fuses may live! Are wires plugged in to the melted terminals? If so their colors will tell which they are. If they are indeed the usual suspects (lights) then they would be brown. This would be the wire from the INT terminal of the ignition switch to the fuse and then from the fuse to the headlight switch. If your harness has been butchered (as have many) then it may take a little detective work to find out. Odds are, however, that it was the lights. It's on all the time and is the biggest load on the bike. The starter probably was not the culprit as it is run through a relay (I hope) that lives just under the voltage regulator. Now what the world needs is for someone to make some repro fuse holders from a material with a melting point higher than a Hershey bar! I'd be tickled pink. Have a Happy!
