I wasn't really happy with the fuse blocks I have...West Marine has some really nice units, but they were expensive. I had the same problems with the size of the cigarrate connectors....i would like some nice plugs that will sit flush with their mount...likely gonna be the trim panels over the air ducts. Anyhow, i'm still working on putting the bike back together, we'll see how that goes. I did get an email about a dead link to my photos.....I moved them, never thought to update the post..but thats taken care of.

Cheers

 

so far it looks like a good set up but don't you think that 30 amps is too much for a radar detector? what guage wiring are you using for a 30 amp fuse? i normally use 12 guage wiring for a 20 amp fuse. i hope you're not skimping on your wiring or your fuse might be useless, and possibly just set your bike on fire from the source wire melting. that would be tragic. your radar dectector itself should state what the necessary current draw is. it should be listed on the radar detector itself or in the owner's manual. what else are you loading down on that relay? i see you've gone with two different aftermarket fuse blocks. one wired hot and the other switched. you could use the key switch to pull a high current relay to provide a current path for your second fuse block. that would be easier.

 

Uhhhh 30amps for the radar detector? Where the heck did you get that insane idea. The 30amp fuse is a primary fuse for the fuse block...the block itself will house the individual circuit fuses....did you even look at the full post before you came up with that idea? One of us is confused...and if its me, please clarify.

 

Bump for an excellent write up and I embedded the pictures in the original post. Hope you don't mind.

 

Nahh works for me

 

Nice post, thanks...hope you got your bike back together after being stolen.
