Hi all,

I just ordered an accessory fuse block from wire my bike. On the 5th gen, where have you all been positioning these? I have seen some pictures of placement on a 6th gen. Pictures would help if you got them, I'm a visual type :blink:

Tightwad? Anyone?

Thanks

Garage Door Opener Opener Unit with quick disconnect.

You can see mine just in front of the rear cowl cross tube. I was using this stinger marine unit for a while but have now switched to an 8 circuit blue sea unit.

The much bigger BlueSea. Also easy access to rear lic plate light for triggering the relay.

Looks good. Thanks.

What's the story with the garage door opener?

Another Blue Sea Install. In addition to the fuse panel and tool kit, I also have a Power Commander in there that is hidden by the crossbar between the passenger grips in this photo.

Another 5th gen. For some reason I can't display pictures directly in posts from work (it works fine at home), but here is the link.

Garage Door Opener Steering Stem Button

I put the button in the stem cover, then soldered on leads to the door opener to attach to the bike. I ran one leg of the switch through a N/O relay that closes when the key to the bike is on so that it is de-activated when the key is off.

Here's where I installed my AP-2 on my '98 (I've since had the side cases and top case painted red)...

Nice! I might give this one a try.
