I purchased a 1978 Goldwing summer of 2008. Have had it for one year.
Early this summer this Goldwing starting blowing a fuse. It is the fuse right in the area of the battery. It would blow about once a month to start and only around town. On the road, no problem.

Recently it started blowing about once every two weeks. Just this last weekend, I had to purchase a new battery. Now in the last two days the fuse has blown at least twice a day to and from work.

Is there anyone who has had this experience and has a fix for this?
I would greatly appreciate it as I really do not have a lot of knowledge for repairing it myself.

Thanks for any help from anyone who can.

Depending on the fuse Do tou have a guit on the fuse box? If you dom't then pull the fuse and see what stops working.
If I were a betting man (Oh yea, I am) I would bet you have an intermitant ground in a wirs. I would pull the seat and look for a wire that is occasionaly getting pinched. Take your time and use a magnifying glass and a good lite.

do you have a fairing on your wing? if so check the wireing there as some have real hack jobs for wireing

Those that replied here are right on. The most common cause of blown fuses is a short in the wiring. Go over everything and you will find it. Good luck and ride safe.
