If you remove the front seat and look on the right side, right below the seat, about halfway back from the front of the seat, you will see what looks like a two-piece plastic box. Sort of looks like every other plug in the world. Very nondescript, I thought. Open that and you will find two fuses inside.

If you can't find it, let us know and I'll email you a photo of mine. I happen to have the seat off right now.

I'm too cheap to go order one though. Maybe I'll build one out of something.

Yeah, I could. Wouldn't that be something. A furry trim piece. Maybe I could start a whole new line of motorcycle parts. Call it "Furry Fenders" or "Biker Beavers" or something.
