Have any of you guys installed auxiliary fuse panels so you don't have to take all the plastics off every time you want to wire something up.
Something like these: http://easternbeaver.com/Home/Main/Products/Fuseboxes/fuseboxes.html If so where did you guys mount them. Pictures would be great!! Thanks Keith |

search under fuse box or Centech. I know somewhere there are some nice pics by someone who put a Centech AP-1 in the upper front right faring, near the fuse box.

I was thinking under the seat but I wasn't sure if there was enough room. Hmmm......that wouldn't be a bad place for it.
I will try searching for that, I tried aux. fuse and some others but I didn't find what I was looking for. |

I have the Centech box. I took my toolkit out and mounted it there.

It took the place of my toolkit. I put the tools I might need or actually use into a cloth tool bag and keep it with my Dynaplug tool and Slime air pump. I keep these in the bottom of one of my saddlebags or my GIVI, depending on my load. I have thrown it in my tankbag for day trips.

klennop -- yes, that is the site I was thinking of. I run an HID (low) headlight, so I might not have enough room up there for the Centech. Replacing the tool kit sounds good to me. Then access is just a matter of taking the seat off.

I would like to keep my tool kit because you never know.
I like the idea of the Centech mounted up front because that is where most of the electrical stuff will be running, radar detector, GPS, etc. However with all the HID lighting stuff it might be kind of tight. Plus with that guys setup it looks like you still have to remove at least one side to add wiring to the Centech. I was just thinking about adding that Centech for my radar detector and possibly if I get a GPS or some heated clothing down the road. |

Is the tire repair kit storage spot big enough for a centech? That would put it closer to the front of the bike, and still easily accessible by removing the seat.
I'd go outside and take off the seat to see how big that spot is, but I'm feeling spectacularly lazy right now.

Yep, that's where I installed my fuse panel (not Centech). Plenty of room, even with a couple of mini relays for the HID lights.
