    Replacing the fuse box???

    Hello again to all.

    Has any one changed the standard fuse box for a modern blade fuse type?

    I have a 1983 GS850g.

    Thanks as always.

    I'm in the process right now of doing so but having to wait on a few issues I need to work out first. Plus, there are a bunch of threads about it if you use the search feature.

    What did you need to know

      I've researched it a few times & it seems that the marine fuse boxes available would suit best. There are some good threads & links on it here somewhere.....

        Hi,

        It's not to difficult to upgrade the fuse block on these old bikes. Start at www.easternbeaver.com or www.fuzeblocks.com and get a kit or fuse block. You'll want a 6 slot kit to give yourself enough room.

        Here are some threads turned up by the Search function:











        Thank you for your indulgence,

                  fuse box replacement

                  Has anyone tried a fuse box off a later suzuki? Like I have a 1981 750, could I adapt a fuse box off a later 750 with the blade type connectors, say a 83-85

                  Do I continue?

                    Why not just buy one from Eastern Beaver, Wiring Products, or even your local parts house and go that route?

                    But yea, you can make anything work just know what your wiring scheme is before you get started on it.

                      Mine must be an earlier model registered in 1983 as it has glass fuses.
