I installed the Bar Bax from Bob' BMW today. It appeared the front screws were a lot longer than necessary, but I put them in to test the feel of the difference before getting too serious about that element. Turns out on the short test drive the left side rubbed through a set of wires and must have shorted something out because now the turn signals and volt meter do not operate. I found the suspected green wire that was worn though. It seemed to be the only suspect for a short. I taped it up. Now I need to get to the fuses. Most info points to them being in the headlight bucket, although Clymer's manual says they are under the seat. Do I have to remove the entire front fairing to get to the headlight? It seems everything on this bike requires half the bike to be disassembled in order to repair something that should be a simple fix. (The side stand for example. You have to take the exhaust off to get to that nut.) Anyway - any easy way to get to the fuses?
I like the new position of the bars as a result of this install and have shortened the offending fasteners.
