BucksTherapy Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I am looking for ideas for placement of an accessory electrical box. I want to house 5 relays and a 10 fuse strip in the box. It will take a box that is at least 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 3". I am thinking about cutting a plate out of 1/8" Al plate and fitting it in between the frame members to the left of the rear shock. Does anyone have any other ideas? Link to comment
Formerly_Capecodbeemer Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Looking for a place this am to fit a box off my 11rt. Too tall to fit under seat on top of shock. I did see all that space by the shock and thought of velcro to the front of the battery. Because it is so open there it may get crudded-up (tech term) quickly. Someone suggested I look up front for a space because that is where all farkles will be and then only have to run the battery cables forward instead of 4 or 5 pair back. I have to explore some more.

markgoodrich Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've made these things before, and used "project" boxes from Radio Shack. Here's a link to a variety of boxes: http://tinyurl.com/2af2pe You might consider two or more smaller boxes, rather than one large one? Here's a link to all the parts necessary to make a relayed fused power strip (why do you want so many relays?); the put-it-on-the bike section is for an FJR, but the design is great. http://tinyurl.com/ypsng7 Link to comment
Ken H. Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I want to house 5 relays and a 10 fuse strip in the box. Yikes! You going to re-do the entire bike!?! (Sorry, I have nothing constructive to add to this thread.) Link to comment
BucksTherapy Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 (why do you want so many relays I may be getting carried away. I am adding heated seat and will be using two switches so thought about using two relays. I have a radio prepped bike that I have put together a 75W mini amp, aux audio switch(switches when it senses sound from the GPS)and MP3 player. I also have a set of lights I will power with a relay. Finally I use a relay to isolate the CanBus which provide power to all other relays. I know there are other ways that would work but they would involve powering more then one 5A draw on the same circuit. Link to comment
