My neighbor was telling me about this on the weekend and sent me the link to this great little unit! All I can say was where was this when I started all my mods!!! I am VERY tempted to rewire my bike using this unit and spend some time this winter rewiring all my electrical mods into this thing! I've often thought about how nice it would be to have a 12VDC+ bus and a GND bus in one location. This this solves that and then some!!
Fuzeblocks.com has designed a fuse block that is easy to install and fits into a small space. The on board relay offers the choice for any device to be switched on or off automatically with the vehicle or to be powered constantly.
And all for $79.95 (+shipping)

Simply put switched power is a wire that has 12V on it when the ignition switch is turned on and 0V when the bike is turned off. It's really nothing more than that.
When the ignition switch on the bike is turned on it applies power to many parts of the bike. Which parts depends on what type of bike you have. Most bikes will apply power to running lights, accessories, etc. This type of power is typically referred to as switched power because it turns on when the bike turns on. The FZ-1 needs a signal to know when the bike is on. It needs this to activate the relay that is built into the FZ-1. When the relay is activated it will then power the devices you have in the switched position on the FZ-1.
How Many Devices Can I Hook to the FZ-1?
In a perfect world the answer would be as many as you want.
The FZ-1 can individually fuse up to 6 devices. However, so long as you obey the rules, you can hook more than one device to a circuit. Just remember that the circuit should not exceed 10A and that the total current for all devices should not exceed the fuse that is in place for that circuit.

You can buy a relay for $15 and a bunch of fuses for $3.99 and a couple of terminal blocks for $1.99 and build your own little fuse box for $25 :rockon:
