an auxiliary fuse box is in my
to-do list for much of the same reasons as you--bunch of auxiliary stuff and inline fuses strewn all over the bike. i had thought of using
this one and it was on my shortlist, but was never convinced that it was The One and was hesitant to pull the trigger on a buy for the longest time. when i did my COPs mod, i wanted connectors that would fit the OEMs and could only find them from eastern beaver, however, he had a $20 minimum requirement. i saw his fuse box and immediately knew the answer to both my probs. i have the beaver box in my project closet and am installing it over the christmas break. i've already tried to install it a couple weekends ago, but never completed the installation. i spent an entire morning trying to figure out the best location to mount the beaver box, how to route the "main" wires, where to locate the relay for the "switched" lines, and how to reroute the auxiliary gadgets' wires. along the way i found a couple of gremlins and spent the remaining day exterminating them.
the beaver box is of excellent workmanship quality and will be going where my #1 ignition block used to sit.

yeah, it's twice the price of the one that i had been thinking about, but factoring in the requirement for the COPs connectors and the desire for a compact fuse box, the beaver box fit the bill. i forget how many "switched" terminals are available, but there is plenty more than the other one. plus what also sealed the deal were the "two" unswitched terminals that are PERFECT for my
RFID Gaurd Dawg relay and the "ground" terminals which will clean up the "rats nest" of ground wires i've spliced in all over the place. FYI for those wondering about the "switched terminals", the benefit is when connected to a relay that is in turn connected to let's say the ignition key switch, your auxiliary gadgets won't drain the battery.
"jim" of eastern beaver includes a some heatshrink tubes, three ring terminals, and a handful of fuses in the kit. mind you, and it may be that i caught him on a bad day because he has an extensive list of positive testimonials, or may be it's b/c he is japan and i'm in the us; but it took longer than the 5 days he advertised as needing to process my order. PLUS he forgot to package my COPs connectors. He immediately remedied the situation, though. I'd buy from him again. Maybe it won't be as bad for you, Diablotin, since you're in the PIs.
