John, did you manage to get a fuse box to suit what you needed? Some nice solutions upthread, but, wow, the prices!i'm looking to add a few accessories but dont want to have them all connected to the battery terminals , is there a decent fuse block i could use bearing in mind i'm in the UK
I also used the exact same Blue Sea Marine Grade fuseblock that Uncle Phil used. I installed mine way back in 2001 in the tail of my ST 1100 (it fits just perfectly in there) and I have had no problems with it in over 20 years. I think the advantage of using a "Marine Grade" product is that it is more than adequately protected against corrosion... not all automotive grade products are.I use a Blue Sea Marine Grade fuseblock...
Infortunately I live in the UK and Blue Seal will not ship over hereI use a Blue Sea Marine Grade fuseblock (you can probably find it on Amazon).
I have a 50 amp fuse and relay (fired when the switch is on) direct from the battery with a 10 gauge wire connection so it gets plenty of juice -
BLUE SEA SYSTEMS ST Blade Fuse Block, 12 Circuits with Cover | West Marine
At least 300,000+ miles with this setup over the years between the 4 ST1100s and no problems.
Have you checked Amazon in the UK? I know as Michael pointed out carries quite a few of them in the States.Infortunately I live in the UK and Blue Seal will not ship over here
Another first class fuse box is the easternbeaver.com PC8. It's a bit expensive, but it is small, excellent quality, and he sells wiring harnesses, connectors, and other little bits. I found his website to be confusing, but not everyone is a capable graphics artist.Infortunately I live in the UK and Blue Seal will not ship over here
Thanks Robert. I try to do all my equipment installs to "aircraft spec" in order to ensure reliability. I only ride long distance (I won't even roll the bikes out of the garage if I'm not going to go 1,000 miles away, and that ST 1100 is kept in Europe so I can ride there). Hence reliability is a really big concern for me.I won't post all the pics but that install is a work of art.
