      Was going to order tires ,chain and rear sprocket from Motorcycle Superstore but I went to the local guy http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...Tik8rK8vTRBGow and can get it all locally for about the same price without the hassles.

          I'd cut it off and rivet a new terminal on or replace the complete buss bar.

                        Thanks RB and FB but it looks like my soldering idea worked just fine

                          You've probably annealed the brass to the point it doesn't have much tension left to maintain a strong pressure against the fuse. Keep an eye on it and have a spare terminal lying around just in case it fails.

                            Seems to have lots of tension.But I was going to keep an eye on it anyway.Put the fuse back in.No problems,at least so far.

                              Greg, why not just replace it with a blade style fuse block?

                                A reason familiar to both of us,no $$.Or I'm committing the money to the "big" ticket items of a chain and tires.Going to see how much a blade type is.


                                Pity is the one I have here is mounted so differently.Hmmmm i just didn't want to mod the panel,but looking at it now I'm going "why not?".
