Motorbike accessory fuse box, wut one?

[NJD]

Hi,

I'm on the hunt (to put on the "watch list;" ie: not needed urgently) for a pre-made motorbike accessory fuse box. I've discovered this one made by Denali, but it has a few reviews slating quality of parts; and combined with the rather huge price tag for what it is I'm not sure its the right one to invest in.

I'd like a pre-made one that wires to the battery and then the option for a switched-live (ie: not always on) as the Denali does (although it also has the option for things to be always on) because my desire to learn how to solder, tap into wires etc is non-existent: wiring annoys me. I understand you connected the + and - accessory to the fuse box and then they work via that (fuses I already have).

Heated grips is the only thing constantly wired in, with a sat-nav being used occasionally. A Denali Sound-Bomb may also be purchased in the future (requires wiring), but so long as the fuse board has capacity for extra future investments then I can tackle that as and when.

I'd expect the box to be removeable in the future to be sold or transferred to another bike if ever needed.

So, in summary: plug and play accessory fuse box required that's decent quality and costs less than £100. If you've actually got what you recommend on your bike with a photo or two even better.

Thanks.

I did a DIY one with molex connectors wired in. Was solid.

I use a thing like this so i have a relay controlled supply and fused spurs. You do however have to wire it in.

Why do you want heated grips permanently live? That sounds like a recipe for bump starting practice to me.

Do it properly, if you can wire the box to the battery then it's only one extra step to connect a switched live for signaling the relay to come on.

I relied on the built in circuitry to switch off my Oxford hot grips, it worked a few times until it didn't. Then I had a flat battery but luckily got a jump start off a colleague.

Next day I ordered 5 pin relay and completed the job properly.
No flat battery since.
