    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've got of a problem with the 83 750 fuse box going into my 78 GS1000:

With the cover on:

The side cover does not come close to fitting

with it off:

No problem.So I can switch back to an old glass style box which I'd rather not do.Or leave the cover off the 83 box.Opinions?

Can you remove said bulge but slicing it off and making a flat cover from the remaining lower part? Kinda make a patch and glue it in and make it nice..then paint it black?

Use a shorter screw to hold modded cover on??
What does the backside look like?
 
May have to shave down that part the screw goes in as well once you flatten off the covers face???
 

Cover is 3 levels,pretty sure the upper level is the first thing making contact.

Here's the back.IF I could slice it off neatly enough I could probably fit something to the top.The real trick would be cutting it neatly enough:-\\\
 
Get something that's the same ht as the bottom of the uppermost part to use as a straight edge.

Then slice it deeply on each side with a utility knife. Connect the ends of the slices along the bottom with a straight edge and score that line.

The one coved edge is a no brainer.
 
Maybe the edge of a belt sander? Just wear the hump off as flat as you can and not get the FUSE lettering involved????
 
You have never seen me try and cut a straight line have you?Even with a straight edge:eek:
 
Trick is too LIGHTLY score it first.Then you go back repeated times thru the same slot and keep cutting deeper. Blade will follow the initial scores.
 
Heck...just Dremel a window in the side cover..easy acess to fuses and no side cover removal required!!!
 
Don't forget the clear Perspex window and the blue LEDs.

Yeah there's a build thread,it's linked in my sig;)I'm not Agemax,pass on the perspex and blue led's thanks.Since the side cover is a rather nice original paint example I'm NOT going to cut it up thanks:rolleyes:I guess I can try to do a straight cut but you REALLY under estimate my ability to mess that up:-\\\
 
Think a flat snap on type for the C will fit on there? Even if you had to drill a hole in the C cover for the screw, it may be a viable option!!
 
Well with a bit more patience than I usually have I got the top with off! Now I just got to figure out what to replace it with :-k
