Mine is little smaller but it did fit under the left headlight mounted to the cross -piece of the frame ..... I have good access to it for getting at the fuses or adding wires ....... Mike

I put mine on the right side ( facing the front) under the black triangle plastic piece under the frunk lid. There's lots of room in there for it.

I would love to see a picture of that with the cover off! Any chance you've got one to post here?

No , but I don't think yours is any different in that area ..... as " bcer960 " stated it's under the left black cover at the Frunk edge .....which is under the left headlight ......Mike

I mounted a fuse block under the RH panels. Picture is a little hard to see well, but there was room.

I don't have a pic, and I just tried to get you one, but the bike is put away for the winter, and the garage door is frozen to the ground.
Open your frunk, take the right side (when facing the bike) black plastic triangle out. There is quite a bit of room in there. I put in a 6 position fuse box, facing front to back on the outside of that space. If I remember right, there's a metal part of the frame that I screwed it too. I also have a 6 or 8 (I forget which) position terminal strip, running side to side near the front of that space, screwed into the metal. And an arduino and 5v regulator running side to side near the back of the space. I believe the arduino and reg are zap strapped (zip strip??)(cable tie) onto a cable or wire harness that runs back there. And there is still a small amount of room left in that area.
It is "supposed" to warm up by the weekend, if it does, I will see if I can get the door open and take a pic.

I mounted an Eastern Beaver fuse box ( 6 switched and 2 un switched ) under the service panel above the frunk at the bottom of the windshield on my F3 as pictured it is in the same place on my RT ,offers great water protection and easy access.2679472C-1ACA-4982-B8B6-725EA48F619B.jpg

Close to where you need it
I say mount it close to where you need the additional connections. By this I mean, if you need several connections close to the bars/dash then perhaps put it under the front left or right side as others have suggested. If you need to near the rear of the bike then you might mount it someplace near the rear topcase. If you simply want more switched and/or unswitched connections near the battery, there is room around there as well.

I mounted mine a PDM60 Fusebox under the LHS cover as you sit on the Spyder
Underneath the cover there is a bracket I made a plate bolted to this bracket and placed my PDM60 fusebox on it
This gives easy access although the PD!60 has electronics circuits instead of fuses this also allows you to easy route cables to the dashboard / handlebar area
i had a Z1 Fusebox in the same area on my previous Spyder RT 2010 SE5 model and now the PDM60 Fusebox fitted in the same area on my existing Spyder RT 2015 SE6 model

If you don't mind my asking, what is the Arduino running? Always curious when people add things like that or a RasPi to their bike.

When i first saw the bike, I immediately knew it needed a knight rider scanner (also known as a Larson scanner) between the frunk and the headlights. I looked for a pre-made product, but I only wanted the lights to be blue (the bike is blue) and I only wanted it to do the back and forth of the knight rider scanner, not transitioning between 200 other lighting effects.
I couldn't find one, so I built one with the arduino. I have a better vid somewhere, but am on my way to work......
