Sees, if you are referring to the 30 Amp main fusible link, it can be replaced with a modern, mini blade fuse, quite easily.  I picked up a fuse holder at Wal-Mart for less than $10; crimped on connectors to the ends of the wires on it (soldering would be much better, but I never had a problem with it...), then I screwed those in place of the fusible link, under the side cover.  I added a couple of extra 30-Amp fuses to the bike's fairing pockets, just to be safe.

Here is the same unit, from Radio Shack, for less than $5:  30-Amp Mini Blade Fuse Holder.  This one even comes with an LED to indicate that the fuse is blown!  The fusible links work just fine, but they are less commonly available, so harder to find replacements.  The modern mini blade type fuses are available all over, in many sizes, up to 30 Amps (may be available in larger amperages, don't know); they're easy, and quick to change, too.  Cheers!
