Are there any quick and easy alternatives to the stock glass fuses?
I had some minor electrical issues over the weekend and after a few hours of going over the harness, because the fuses looked okay, checked the fuses with my Fluke and found one that was burned out that didn't look burned out.
Everything is back and running, but it would be nice to have a burned out fuse that actually looks burned out.

I look at the inline, "bullet" type holders for glass fuses and I wonder: do they make inline holders for single, blade type fuses?

Thanks, jayel. I'm about to strip the factory harness out of my bike. I will rewire as I told you I'd planned to do. Is there any one gage of wire that I can use throughout? Ignition, lights, accessories, etc.? Then I could buy a whole bunch on one size but in several different colors. Save me some complication. . . .

run 12 gauge stock wiring is 14..... this will explain it a little better than I can, probably overkill but it won't have wiring problems
