Fuse panel

MikeG · Jun 12, 2013

Its time to rid my Cdo of the Lucas rats nest. First on the list of materials is a fuse panel, looked at several online and seems like Centec AP2 and Fuzeblock are the most common. Also looked at ones from Easternbeaver and Bluesea Systems. All look OK. Anyone out there using them ? Recomendations/pictures of installed units?
Thanks

Ditch all that and get one of these:

I'm glad I did. Easy to install, highly functional, fully digital and has some programming.
Your hand switches only provide a ground signal to the unit, uses tiny wires and is easy on the 40 year old switch contacts.

I just wired my Combat with one and I will be buying more for my other bikes.

Easter beaver kit works a treat, very well priced and all you need is a hand full of mini blade fuses in your pocket.

Looks very good and intelligently designed, but pricey.

Nice looking unit ,pricy but NICE. What do you use for a battery?

Wow! $450 for a battery and fuse box.
I guess I'm cheap, but I have had great results with a $12 4-way mini-fuse block from an auto parts store and a $30 AGM battery (except for an e-start). I usually run separate ignition, lights, horn, and charging circuits. I like to use original color codes on the wires so a circuit can be identified with the original wiring diagram.

How does 7 bucks sound for a fuse box?

These Hella units come in 4,6, and 8-gang flavors. They are splash resistent with an o-ring seal in the base. I use them on my Mk3 and my TR3A. Small size makes it easy to place. Uses conventional blade fuses.

Summit Racing is an excellent source for automotive goodies for our Nortons.

I use Bussman stuff and it works perfectly. ZERO electrical issues.

Critics be damned, you can't argue with success!

I sell the simple panels by Littlefuse or Cole Hersee but I was after something with a common groung buss as well, and covered. Looks like Bluesea Systems is the one I'll go with.
Thanks

The Bussmans pictured above all have the common bus to which I attach an auto-reset circuit breaker.
