I replaced mine with a 15amp, which I thought was especially necessary because I switched to a 55/100 H4 bulb. I eventually replaced ALL the fuse holders with the flat blade inline type, (Buss), and - of course - all the glass fuses with the little plastic flat bladed ones. 15amp at the radiator for the head& taillight, the others were left at the stock amp size. Switching the fuse holders is a VERY easy, and straight-forward procedure that eliminates the possibility of fuse failures due to breakage and such. The Buss brand holders come with rubber caps that seal over the fuse, so it's a fairly weatherproof installation. (Anal retentive that I am, I also ran electrical tape around the "seam.") I would suggest soldering the connections, and protecting them with heatshrink tubing. Remember to slip the tubing over the wires BEFORE you solder the connections.

Mark, VERY nice site. You did put a lot of work into it. I did notice one "glitch" tho..... no dents, dirt or scratches on the KLR.... Of course this must be a "factory" picture. )) Greg in Dallas
