Blue Sea 5025...
 

I've noticed a couple of folks using these things and am considering the same for my new 1200GS...quick question...are you folks just strapping them into the tool compartment or more of a permanent type mount?

the strap works fine but I put a couple of sheetrock screws of varying length thru the provided holes in the fuse block. Be careful of the relays and other electrical wizadry underneath the tool tray. I also stashed my tire patch kit underneath it. If ever need it I can just unscrew it with multi tool.

Wonder how a little velcro patch would suffice?

I strap.... works perfect, easy to pull out to clean.

Strappin and happy...

I strap mine in too. Makes it easy to lift if I need to get to stuff that is under it.

:nod

Mine is strapped there too, plus I have the Touratech "canbus helper" sitting just below it, which I use to power switched gadgets that I want turned off with the ignition key.

What, no fuse from the battery + to the 5025 :brow ??

That's actually how I have mine wired but I'm worried about it shorting out..

I know it is supposed to be close to the battery, but I placed it further along and under the fuse box, along with a relay to power it when the key is on.

I've seen your pic a few times and never looked close enough to see that you relay the whole block..

Not a bad way to eliminate turning off a bunch of gadgets when you are done with the bike.

Helps me not to forget, and kill the battery!

Fuse Block
 

I used the Centech since it's smaller and mounted it to the tool tray with some smal screws.

would it be alright if you explained how you run your wiring for both the canbus helper and the blue sea?
Howzabout a few pics please? :D
I'm an electrical numbnuts... really could do with a lil help here. Thanks mate.

Old thread. IMHO get a Fuzeblock.
