Fooled me with that one Bryan. The grabrail threw me as I knew the UK didn't get one. Looks to be off a 550 as well as they are higher at the back than the 500 grabrails.
500 only ever had a single inline fuse Ted, it was a big mistake by Honda IMO, if it blows EVERYTHING dies, engine included. If you can't find what's causing the blow you're stranded. The 550 has much better electrics which was why I fitted a 550 loom to my 500.
