Screwing up the plate light wire isn't that much better than screwing up the taillight wire in that sense.
Generally speaking, as close to the battery as possible. A fuse acts as a weak link that breaks before anything else gets damaged. If the fuse is a foot from the battery and blows, you still have 12" of hot wire that could short out. If it's only an inch from the battery, then you only have 1" of hot wire that could give you more problems. |
Thanks for the info Bill. I guess I can leave the switch wire the way it is. I'll move the fuse between battery and relay when I go about re-wiring the setup.
BTW, everything everybody says about these grips is true. It's a total godsend and by far the best mod I've done to my bike.
