Mail order Beaver?  Kinda hard to get it through the post office I would think.

Yeah, he'd probably gnaw his way out in the sorter room.

I should hope not.  We have enough problems with our beavers.

Most of us mount it below the black side panel on the right in front, or under the seat, in place of tool kit, etc etc etc there are so many ways to mount it.....

I've seen the tool kit delete mount. Anyone have pics and description of the side panel mount along with degree of difficulty info?

I bought a Centech for my FZ1 and hated it. Very dumb design IMO.  To attach something, you had to remove the cover to get to the screws. Plus, ground out of one side, power out of the other.   Depending on how it's mounted and how permanent that it, you may not have accces to both sides, or be able to remove the cover. I told my brother why I didn't like it and sold it to him at a loss.  Plus, it had a bare circuit board on the back side, just asking to short something.  Whoever designed that thing must have never used it.  Just one man's opinion.

If you want the latest and greatest technology, and don't want to worry about fuses, the PDM60 is the way to go.....

Anybody tried one of these yet?  Especially the latest release?  Looking at that or the PowerHub2 from Twisted Throttle. Used Fuzeblock on Versys and liked. But, these much more compact.

I have the FZ1 and it works great but I hate everything mentioned above. I will get a different model next time.
