Subject: ST1100: Aux fuse panel

I have to side with Steve Chamberlain on this one. Even with "remote"

wiring to the accessories, it CAN be elegant via the use of "harness

ducts" and zip ties.

Many listers have done what's in the picture on this website:

www.geocities.com/tfm1_99/st_accessories.html Use velcro to mount plate and panel to the battery holder. Use sex bolts to mount panel to the plate. Done. Clean install. Suggestion: Use a relay to power the panel on a "switched" circuit (I used the FAN lead to activate the relay).

Hi Ray. I'll add something I learned from the old ST1100 Newletter and used on my 6 switched circuit aux fuse panel -- there are two switched power sources located on the back side of ST1100 OEM fuseboxes that can run a relay.

Put a male spade connector on the end of a 20 gage wire. Push this connector into one of the two slots on the back of the fusebox (look closely, you'll see them). Put an in-line fuse on this wire and connect the other end to the relay to activate it whenever the ign key is switched on.

BTW, there's enough room behind and above the fusebox to mount the relay and its fuse too.

Subject: RE: ST1100: I need Aux. fuse block recommendations

Have to agree with Steve. I used a Bussmann 6-circuit fuseblock (At almost any auto parts store - purchased mine at Wal-Mart for ~$8).

I located mine for access convenience - in the tail section mounted to the black plastic divider to the tail light wiring (just take off the seat and you're there).

Fuse blocks are a dime a dozen at our local auto parts stores... what

was difficult was getting one that used spade-type fuses as opposed to

the old-fashioned barrel types. I didn't want to carry around two

different kinds of fuses. I ended up at a place here in San Diego called

Off Road Warehouse (ORW). I picked up a six-gang fuse block and mounted

it onto the black plastic under the tail cone. It's supplied power by a

good hefty piece of 10-guage wire. So far just my cigarette lighter,

Fiamm horn relay, GPS and Gerbing HeatTroller are powered by the new

fuse block. When the PIAA mounts arrive...

FWIW

I used the aux. device (female) bullet connectors Honda built into

the system. The wires (hot & ground) are in a plastic hood right over

and sort of tucked behind the OEM fuse boxes at the rear of the

battery. I run the trigger wire to the relay that powers the fuse box

from that.

I installed the fuse box last week to power a temporary V1

installation and just got back from a 4,500 mile run to New Orleans

(from Norcal) through lots of pouring rain and buffeting from Texas

winds, and it held up great. This fuse box is tied to the battery.
