Ahh, curse the 70's and their tube fuses!
So I just finished running all over the city looking for a particular type of fuse that is supposed to fit into the fuse box for my bike. I think that is why she has been shorting out, i looked and the completely wrong amp fuses are in the fuse box! I got the repair manual today, and looked up the correct resistances, but could not find the right fuses for the life of me, I checked 3 auto parts stores, ace hardware, radio shack, and an actual honda motorcycle dealership/repair place.
The fuse box is missing its cap anyway, so I bought 3 individual waterproof in-line fuse holders for when i re-do the wires, I will just cut the old box out and mount these 3 new ones in, they use the newer style fuses as well, the square ones, so I shouldn't have any more trouble finding fuses after I replace the box.
I also got new spark plugs and plug wires, high mileage oil and carb cleaner for the big task of fixing those up, which will come right after I am done with the electrical system. Should I put the turn signals back on? I'm not sure I kind of like the way it looks without them, and I can always signal with my arm... not sure. I'm going to go read the shop manual now.
