Hey guys,
What type of fuse do I need for a 1966 Honda 305 dream?
Is there a name/size I should be looking for?
Thanks!

Honda 305 Dream Fuses Type?
fuse
The one you need is an old school automotive fuse. 15 Amp. Glass tube in the middle with metal caps on the end. It does seem to be kind of an odd size, though. Standard 1/4" diameter, but only 1 inch long. I would check your nearest auto parts store.
Didn't you have one in your bike before?

The voltage on the fuse's spec is purely its upper safe working limit, mainly due to the cartridge type.Sascha wrote:I ended up finding 15 amp fuses that are 250Volts so I am going to use those... I had a fuse in my bike but I have a feeling im going to blow them testing the new wiring i put in.

Make up a current limiter for testing systems -- a 12V/60W headlamp bulb is ideal, initially -- and connect it in line with the fused cable (and, afterwards, the charging cable); it will absorb the current of a short circuit, burning full brightness in the event of same. It will glow with varying brightness as it passes the current demanded by the bike's circuits. This way you won't blow any fuses during system proving.
Carry out testing with a charger connected or you'll quickly flatten the battery. Switch or plug/unplug the charger at the outlet, NOT at the battery post whilst the charger is on!
