Hey all,
I need to get busy and order the electrical supplies to wire up my new ES model. I'll be wiring it for long distance/rally use which means lots of circuits. Requirements are ease of access; reliable/quality; and fit the bike well.
After looking at several options online one thing I want to avoid are the blocks that pinch/clamp the wires in place. That damages the wires, and over time the wires will loosen up. I would rather have either screw terminals I can attach ring terminals to, or blade terminals. I used to use Bussmann fuse/relay panels but I just can't find any room on the Tenere and still have it easy to access. I would also like it to use mini ATO fuses to match the rest of the bike if possible (assuming the Tenere uses modern mini ATO)
So far I have ruled out:
-Blue Sea. Far too bulky.
-Bussmann. GREAT fuse & relay block, but no room to have everything integrated into one unit.
-Centech AP1/AP2- no weather protection and pinched wires.
-Fuzeblock- Pinched wires.
-Eastern Beaver PC8- pinched wires (too bad, was nice otherwise)
Still in the running is the Centech PDP-3 (not sure how the wires hook up, still trying to find info). I also need to check dimensions to see if it will fit.
Anyone have suggestions for a quality fuse block?
