Title: Fuse Block Options?
Post by: mystic red on May 15, 2011, 02:36:21 PM
Ordered a new battery as mine seems to progressively getting weaker. Thought I would take this opportunity to add a fuse block for all my add on crap. Any recommends would be appreciated. Would be nice if it located by the OEM block.

There's a lot a high $$$ fancy schmancy ones out there but I've been using these for quite some time.  They are inexpensive and with some minor rearrangement in the relay box you can mount them right next to the factory fuse block.

On my K1100RS:

On my K75F:

Once I've got the flasher relay out of the way, I take a 1" wood bit and drill a hole next to the OEM fuse block. Then I install a grommet and route all of the wiring as necessary.(The first one I installed on my LT without the hole and just ran the wires around the back of the relay box.  Slightly less work but not as clean of an install IMO.)

And voila!

This is the cheapest I've found them on Fleabay at the moment:
