Nevets Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Has anyone mounted a Fuzeblocks FZ-1 on an (2003) or similar RT-P (or RT)? I was going to buy one to do some rewiring, but was concerned about fitting it in. I just tried a similar size block of wood, and other then the tail end (where my Autocom is), I can't see a place where it will fit. Any body had a luck mounting an FZ-1? I was just on the www.fuzeblocks.com site , and I see that he's out of stock anyways...
Todd_Z1 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 What about under one of the side covers? I was able to mount a Bluesea fuse block there and it much larger than the FZ1. Tap Plastics can make a custom mount plate out of plastic which you can zip tie into the bike. The fuse block screws onto the plastic mounting plate. I never had a problem with my fuse block mounted there. I mounted mine on the left side. Cheers! Todd
Nevets Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 A good idea, and thinking outside the box... It's easy to think along the lines of symetrical, under the seat, but I'm guessing (if I looked) there is plenty room to the sides under the tupperware. Cheers!
Todd_Z1 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 No not the tupperware, I was talking about the small side cover under your legs. They are the perfect size for hiding a fuse block. Todd
Nevets Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 I guess I was thinking too far outside the box... ..even better idea. I'll take a look, thanks.
Nevets Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 I don't suppose you would have a photograph of your installation would you? Please... I think I can see a place within the frame area on the left side, by the lift handle. Seems like that area could get fairly "damp", wouldn't it?
Deek Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 "I don't suppose you would have a photograph of your installation would you? Please... I think I can see a place within the frame area on the left side, by the lift handle...." I'd like to see a few photos also........
Todd_Z1 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Unfortunately I no longer have any photos of my install having become a little over zealous in cleaning out my hard drive one day. Basically I used a small piece of aluminum but plastic would have been easier to work with. I removed the side cover that the left side lift handle goes through. Under the cover is part of the frame and you can craft a small mounting plate that fits in this space using zip ties to secure it to the frame. If you use a blue sea fuse box it will just fit. I would recommend the Centech AP2 as it is smaller and more rugged. I have this under the seat of my K12S and it is dead simple to install and smaller that the BlueSea. Cheers! Todd
Nevets Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Gotcha! I'll fashion up a tempate with cardboard, get some Lexan or similar and go to town. When I'm done I'll post the template (assuming it works) as it seems like a good thing people might want to know about. Cheers!

Works great...

Works great... Yep, I'm on his waiting list. As far as I can tell, it will not fit under my seat (2003 R1150RT-P). Only choice will be under the side panel (already have a mounting plate ready) or in the tail (too far to run all the wires.
