Chopper Wiring Questions
04/27/15 at 07:58:34

I have a few questions about the Chopper Diagram thread linked in the Tech Forum > TOC thread. Since it is a closed thread, I figured I would ask here.

The diagrams show 2 10A fuses. 1 leading to the 3 position headlight switch and 1 leading to the brake light circuit. However the text states that he used a 7A fuse leading to the headlight and a 3A to the tail.

Are these fuses required and if so, which are the correct ones to put inline?
