| Fuse Block and Rick's
Shelf Installation (you can click on most pictures to get a larger image) |

| Fuse kit is available on eBay and contains 3 circuits that are all switched. The fuse size is adjustable for the application. | Fuse kit is weatherproof. Directions indicate installation should be on the opposite side of the underseat compartment. My remote pre-load adjuster was in the way. As it turns out, the other side of the compartment was a great location. |

| Relay, main fuse for fuse block and wiring going to the front of the bike. | Keyed power plug located under the rear of the fuel tank. Plugs are provided as part of the fuse block kit. |

All connections were soldered and wires were covered with this sheath-available at Radio Shack. |

Wires were routed along wiring harness on the right side of the engine exiting with the wires shown here. |
Rick's Shelf before mounting. On the left is a standard Powerlet socket with lead (PSO-007). On the right is a standard Powerlet cigarette socket (ASO-002). When mounted, the standard socket will be on the right side of the shelf. There is very little room for a large socket on the right side of the shelf due to the throttle cable mounting bracket under the shelf on that side. I added a couple of quick disconnect plugs to make installation and removal easier. |

Quick disconnect plugs-one for each socket. A third circuit runs into the front fairing for the XM Radio. |
