Being the time of year when things electrical tend to blow due to higher battery demand and damp, I thought it would be wise to get some spare fuses: there are already 2 spares in your fuse box, 1 x 10A & 1 x 20A, but I wanted some "spare" spares as well, mainly for a long journey last week.
I eventually found some at Halfords - be warned that they sell them in packs of 5 and 10A, OR 15, 20, and 30A, so you either have to buy both packs, or the higher ratings only.
DON'T do what I did however:
- remove spare fuses from VTX and put in back pocket of jeans to go to Halfords
- buy spare spare fuses
- tape spare spare fuses to inside of bike seat in dry place
- wash jeans later that week
- remove distorted plastic fuse remnants from jeans
- <sigh> go back to Halfords...
