78' 750, no fuse block?

So my suzuki project doesnt seem to have a fuse block... But its got plenty of corroded, cracked and burned wires. Funny thing is, the only thing i can find is the fuse to the battery/solenoid.

Doesnt seem to have been hacked out and I cant see where it would mount either way!

Any clues?
 
To the right of the starter selinoid theres two holes with welded nuts on the back...thats where the fuse box is supposed to be.
 
Nope... There was a flasher relay, a regulator and thats it. No extra hole...
 
my 77 is the same way, one fuse to the soleniod and no fuse block. according to the wiring diagrams it is supposed to be that way.
maybe you have an early 78 that didnt yet have the fuse block.
 
The 750s were indeed sold with only one fuse initially, and I believe the '79 model year was the change over to a fuse block.
 
Now that I'm home, I checked my Clymer manual and you're all right the 78' GS750E/EC and previous models have no fuse block... it was fist installed in 79.

I'm wondering IF I should install one... at least for the lights, just a small in-line fuse, 5A or 10A. There are a TON of burn marks on my wiring harness and some of the grounds are melted straight through.
 
I think it's worth it if you can do it. It won't completely eliminate the possibility of burn marks, especially in the charging system, but fuses in general are a very, very good thing.
 
You'd be pretty miffed if a short in your flasher circuit meant that you couldn't ride it home....

Having one fuse for all is a bad idea for a number of reasons. Also tracing faults becomes extra difficult too.
 
I stands corrected..I was thinking about the spot for the block on the 1000s. ( latest bike i was working on so its stuck in my head ).
