£112 for a fuse - FFS

They have had your pants down Al

I thought Scotsmen were more careful with their brass ;)
hi bud , too be fair they had to remove the fairing crash bars, disconnect the spots. It's just very bad design from HONDA. ..Al

I'd be annoyed but at the end of it all you just have to pay and then forget it.

Ok, when you use a 12 volt charger, many device (like phones) cant actually take 12 volts so they have a "stepper" in line which takes the voltage down to 5 volts. If youy just plug in a cable without a stepper, it can cause damage (not always( to the device itself
