[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 42786, member: 2708"] As I have added self cancelling indicators, a heated vest plug in, a powered GPS dock and extra brake light to my Rapide, I now have a ton of wiring. It would be nice to start anew and use a small circuit board. The old way with one fuse for everything was perhaps OK on the original bikes which had very little in the way of wiring. Now with all these circuits a problem can be very hard to trace. I have added a couple of switches and fuses, but it still remains that if the horn , tailight, brakelight, headlight, speedo light, ignition, charging wire and a few others go to ground, the main fuse pops and everything stops, the head scratching begins. Has anyone come up with a small fuse panel that would fit in a hidden or nearly hidden location? For the Glenli I ended up with 12 circuits, two six place boards, all tucked out of view and out of the weather under the rear cowl. Even a single six place board would be a big improvement, but I have not come up with a good location. Has anyone found a way to tuck in a circuit board in a good dry, hidden location? It also needs to be easily accessible. I'm considering making a bit larger battery box with some sort of little door that hinges down, the circuit board being mounted on the door. Glen [/QUOTE]
