   *  A 2" long 20 gauge wire (70105-73) was added on FL,FLH, FX, FXE, XL and XLCH models to act as a fuse-able link.  The fuse wire protects wiring between the battery and the lighting, ignition and accessory circuit breakers. In place of this HD part, any 20 gauge braided wire will work also. But, don't use any heavier gauge wire. The opposing wiring is heavier gauge so this fuse-able link acts as the weakest conductor in the circuit. ​ ((HD Service Bulletin #659 dated March 6, 1974 pg 1))   *  A 2" long 20 gauge wire (70105-73) was added on FL,FLH, FX, FXE, XL and XLCH models to act as a fuse-able link.  The fuse wire protects wiring between the battery and the lighting, ignition and accessory circuit breakers.
