Help: Can you identify these brackets?

[MMcc]

They look like the brackets that hold the fuse box on my 2008 GS.

Brackets for additional Fuse Box

Ref those Brackets - I have found a use for them

I have fitted an additional Fuse Box - FZ-1 - .See http://www.fuzeblocks.com/


I have connected a Power socket, Running Lights, Clock and Voltmeter off it - all fused

The problem was where to locate it ?

It had to be easy access to allow for any changes (Adding more accessories) - Replacing Fuses if needed and
also the runnning of wires etc

A Location where it would not get too hot _ Difficult on the Spyder RT - S
and would not be prone to failure due to the weather

Having looked at the those brackets and their location and with the size of the FZ -1 Fusebox - this was my chosen location

I found the location ideal for running wiires to either side as the Fusebox is on the RHS (Looking from the front)
any wires needed for the LHS run under the lights behind the Front trunk (Plenty of room)

I fixed the Fusebox with Heavy duty velcro and Zip ties which hold it very secure - it has extra wire which allows me to pull it out when I need to
Although the fusebox is under the RHS Service cover I have added extra sleeving to protect the wires and made a rubber sheet which covers over the top of the FZ1 - Fusebox stopping any Water/Dirt etc

I have been in 2 storms and not had any problems

I have posted some photos as this may help others

And a good use of the space, too, there's no doubt about that. :thumbup:

I've just visited Nippy Norman's and had a look at the specs for the FZ-1. A bit expensive I thought, but plenty of features --- if I bought one I'd be looking for additional electrical stuff to add to the RT as a way of justifying its cost!

Smatter of fact I'm close to needing a fusebox. As well as the Nautilus, I have connected up a Zumo 550, an Autocom and a 10 amp socket for my wife's heated jacket, all powered by in-line fuses. Happily, I am about done with electrical extras (until the next "must-have" item comes along)! When that happens I'll probably get a box and rewire everything to it. Good fun and educational, too!

It works! See my post with photos in the DIY Step-by-Step forum for fitting a Nautilus on the RT. I'm really pleased with this. hyea:

Thanks! :thumbup:

Ho ho ho! I can just see the reaction of the London police if I was to ride that up The Mall in today's political climate. My God, they'd think an alien fighter force had landed, I wouldn't last 2 minutes! :yikes:

I installed mine behind the left hand side access panel. There is a lot off space there so I built a custom fuse panel that allows me to have 12 switched, 10 hot and 3 relays mounted on it. I also mounted a ground bar above it. While I made water proof disconnects that are located so I can remove any part of the bike with out cutting wires. I have a lot of accessories on my RT so I all but one fuse used at this time.

I fed the fuse panel from the battery with a 100 amp master fuse in line on a 8 gauge wire which also has a disconnect.

Thanks a bunch eddieshep999.
I've installed one of those on every bike I've owned the past ten years. Quality stuff, and I knew the guy that invented that one.

I've got a 2015 Spyder F3 and wondering what fuzed and switched wire you tap into for the Fuze Block?
I need to wire up my GPS. And that being all for now I'll most likely install a fuse Block later.

Thanks so much, JimSTer

Before you, JimSter, no-one's posted in this thread since March 2016 when Bluestratos put up the post above yours. The post above his shows that the thread was lying fallow & untended from August 2011..... :shocked:

Eddie's still around the place, a regular visitor & poster too, so you could well get a response - but if you want to be sure, maybe you should PM him?!? :dontknow:

Good Luck! :thumbup:




Ps: All the above aside, the brackets that are the subject of this thread carried the 'remote battery terminal' for 2013 RT's & I think ST's too, but I don't think they were used for much before or after?!? :dontknow:

Hi Peter Aawen:

Thanks so much for the heads up.
Maybe I should just post a new thread since the Spyders in this thread are a different model and it's been 5-6 ears and much has changed.

Thanks again, JimSTer
