Yes the fuse holder is at the handlebars. You can see it to the right of the ignition switch.
Installed a USB/12v cigarette lighter power port after work this afternoon. Easy 15 minute job for anyone but me.I always seem to drop something and it falls into the nether regions of the bike and I have to start removing plastic panels in order to reach it. Anyway, here it is.

Found a DOT map of NC gravel roads. More than I thought in my neck of the woods.
Handy IF you are trying to keep some soft bags off the muffler?
Happy Hanukkah!
HaHa you will laugh as I live in FL but this true. I got into the habit of riding with a Gerbing liner over a L/S shirt as long as it was above 40 degrees or so. I'm in Gerbing at 55 F. Mesh jacket with wind liner over that. On a day ride the Gerbing harness failed two hours from home and I got very cold in those two hours. I very nearly stopped to buy a sweatshirt just a little while from the house. It taught me to carry a fleece or extra layer even a thin one in saddlebag or topbox.I Almost Made It To The Breakfast Meeting
When I left the house Sunday morning to go to my clubs monthly meeting it was foggy and cold, about 28 F. The sun came out just south of Barre and I thought the fog would be burned off. It got foggy again by the time I got to Randolph and stayed foggy for the rest of the day. I was doing fine until I got to Exit 3 on I-89 when the indicator light on my Gerbing's heat controller stopped blinking. I kept going while I tried to get it working again and finally stopped at Tozier's right after my heat controller quit completely on me. The thought of riding through Killington with no heat convinced me to turn around. I did not go into the restaurant which was open to warm up. I guess I had made my mind up to go home and went. At first I couldn't get the bike to start after stopping at T's. I found I had hit the kill switch by accident. I had some heat with a little voltage coming through but not enough to make me anywhere near comfortable. I spent an hour at the Bethel McDonalds on Exit 3 to warm up before I headed home. I had half a dozen hand and toe warmers stashed in various places around the bike and stuffed my pockets and boots with them. I took Route 66 to Route 14 north figuring the Interstate would be too cold of a ride. Speed bleeds heat. It is amazing to me to see so many people drive in pea soup fog driving with no lights on. After I got home I finally put the bike away on December 6th where last year I had to put it away on November 7th. My bike will have company this winter with Max's Rebel sitting right next to it. As cold as I was it was still a great day for a ride and I'm happy I tried.
I've installed several centerstand springs - two on my NCs. I use a short piece of coat hanger wire bent in a hook and that clamped in the jaws of a pair of Vice-Grips. The Vice Grips give me enough to hold ontp and pull while turning the spring hooks.
