    You don't have an airbox either. Yikes!
    I suggest that you get a factory airbox for many reasons, one of which is to have a place to mount the new fusebox.
    Chacal has the fuse boxes in stock, or you can probably get one at your local Radio Shack (if you are lucky enough to still have one).
    It would not be out of the question to use inline fuse holders either; just be sure to label them.
    The wiring is easy. Every yellow wire that was spliced in to the harness is where a fuse should go. You still have the original wires, and their colors and trace colors identify each circuit. Look back to the photos on page one to use as your guide.

    I also see that one of the ground wires is not hooked up (big black wire with the ring terminal).

    Does your bike happen to be an 1100?

    My local oreilly auto store had similar fuse boxes to the replacement box shown here.
    Unbelievable the PO simply took fuses out. Guess he or she never saw what a dead short on an unfused circuit does...

    Those, while related to the XJ, are actually a fair amount different.
    As good as this site is, you may be better served at http://www.yamaha-triples.org/portal.asp

    Thought I would share. I did this on my 82 xj650 maxim with the kit from Len. The original practically crumbled away when I took it off.
