Hello all you oilheaders out there I am going to give a "hypothetical" situation, then I would love to hear opinions from yall.
A person "man" who rides year round utilizing Gerbings, buys his riding partner "woman" a set of Gerbings as well. (He 95 1100gs, her 99 F650) When plugging in "woman" to her bike, they blow the fuse in the accessory outlet. When changing said fuse (a GBC type, huh?) they realize that the last person to change said fuse, had made the holding cylinder so out of round the cam would not fit into the slot and will no longer work as a fuse holder. Now here is the question. Should they (A) Find and purchase a new GBC type fuse holder (proving hard to find), that he has only found at the local BMW place for 10 bucks but is "original"(is it an original part?), ooorrr Just go ahead and install a blade type fuse holder (or glass, thats not the issue) that can be found anywhere, any time, truck stop, 7-11, big box store, baaps, etc for 2 bucks with fuses.
Doing the work is not an issue, it is a simple wrench. So my question is..... Which would you do and why? No right, no wrong, no judgments. Just which would you do and why.
Thanks
