[sleadhed]

Hey guys!

check this out. http://www.centechwire.com/catalog/panels/ap1.shtml

have any of you installed this one? I think I am going to get it It is about the right size to fit right behind the battery under the seat on the 2nd gen. Not a bad price either.

It's nice and high tech, but $50

I've used an 8 position holder that I mount on top of the battery where the stock one is on the 1st gens. It runs me about $11 but the one your looking at seems to appear very solid

I bought a basic 6-circuit aux panel at a local marine store when I lived in FL. About 10 bucks. I wired it to the battery via a 30-amp fuse and each leg has its own fuse appropriate for the load.

well when I first saw this I thought that I was a little pricey too. I suppose even for the surge protection that they claim to offer It is at the higher end of the $$$ scale. What interested me most in this unit is that it offers 8 feeds (Generic picture? I only see 5 fuse cavities) and the compact size. the same company offers a unprotected 6 panel for $13 and a 4 panel for $10. After browsing the web and the rest of their site I think I'll opt for the $13 panel and apply the remainder the the exhaust fund.

I would look for something that is waterproof.

is that it offers 8 feeds (Generic picture? I only see 5 fuse cavities) .

 

I believe some of the terminals share some fuses.

Nice looking unit. I see the wires are held in place with screws, I wonder if the screws will stay tight and hold the wires securily on a machine that vibrates as much as a motorcycle? I guess you could use a little blue loctite just in case.

the description of said unit states this "the water resistant AP-1 fuse panel will provide reliable service no matter your application."

Now what is their definition of water resistant?

My experience tells me that a pc board is useless in moist conditions unless sealed in gel.

I have the $20 NAPA on mine. It's not waterproof but I put an inline fuse to the power side of the block. I will take some pics and post. I run all of my added electronics from it. IE... horns, trailer modulator, passing lights, vests.

I don't know where to put them as they look large, but the Cirkit Boss Fuse Blocks from Painless Wiring have a built in relay to shut all the outputs down when the ignition is turned off.

 

They include wire and lots of other parts...

Here is a pic of my extra fuse block. NAPA part. As far as needing to be waterproof I can't say but, I did ride 3 days in solid rain from Laconia to Dallas and it never gave me a problem.
