It looks like a fuse goes in there....but there are two wires coming off it and going into loom?

Does that fuse operate something?

Follow the wires and see where they lead to - probably an aftermarket accessory of somekind.

Thanks.

That is the way to confirm what it does but it's pretty well wrapped up and have loads to do...I will find out someday :)

Optimate charger without a fuse? Given the bike is currently sitting in the dining room again and will be for some time is it best I get the fuse or will it make no difference?

sorry you might be getting confused
this lead goes from your battery to a two pin plug, and then the optimate charger plugs in to that

Yes sorry I am probably confused. I try to stay away from wires!

The wires coming out either side of the fuse holder both seem to just head towards the front of the bike. When I feel more confident I will investigate further.

On another note I confirmed my bike's original colour was Orange!!! YR-179!

It could be anything from a charger, or an eager beaver headlight relay kit, heated grips, voltmeter, 12v accessory socket etc.. etc..

Is there anything non-standard and electrical in the dash area?

Not a thing mate. In fact when I got the bike the only thing that was not standard was the Scottoiler, rear hugger and braided lines.

I'll be taking the subframe off at some point in the near future which will give me more room so I will be able to see better then.

Thanks though
