I picked up some Hella motorcycle fog lights. i already have a 12v plug-in for my GPS or anything else that has a cig plug. I want to set up the lights but don't want to have a bunch of wires on the battery, so is there a little device that i can connect to the battery that i can use as power strip of sorts to wire stuff off of the battery without wiring everything directly to the battery? :dunno_black:

If you want to be safe, you'll need a fuse block of some sort like the one weedahoe linked to (which is the same one I just installed). 

Of course if you use one, you can throw away those inline fuses (if you want) and instead insert the appropriate fuse in the fuse block.  AND most of them have switched outputs available so you don't even need the individual relay's anymore for the most part.

The one adidas used is by Eastern Beaver: http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Products/Fuseboxes/fuseboxes.html

I'm happy with the Fuzeblock, but the Eastern Beaver does allow for more power hungry accessories.

Ok well add another thing to the list of things to buy.

Hmmm... Let's see what's going on.....

1. I have a neighbor that hides soft pockets of loose gravel so you can't see them then hit them without warning (like going over a wooden bridge with random spots of dry rot where you never know when you wheel will fall through)

2. I am accused of intentionally dropping Suzi to make some point  :cookoo:

3. Somewhere I have this fuse block? I wish I knew where it was.  :dunno_black:

Oh, well. I 'll just fade away while I determine what to do with the clutch on Phenix that seems to stick. Guess time to replace a clutch so I'll be busy for a while.

I'll let you know if I find that fuse block. No idea where it is.

Doh!   :technical:

Sorry looks like it was a different member who has that fuse block, but someone on this forums does!  I swear! 

I guess I'm just used to hearing about this adidas fellow doing all these mods to his bike.

OP, can you get a head on shot of that cowl for me? I'm wondering if it makes the bike look bulky or anything up front. I'd love to add one to mine but not if it looks out of place with the rest of the bike being naked

think it looks better i'm going to put the side fairings on this winter but i have to weld up a few brackets. think its going to be easier than trying to drill and tap all the holes for bolts into the frame.
