Title: FZ1 Fuze block under Corbin Seat
Post by: xsv on March 26, 2014, 06:59:02 AM
...I could not find the specific information in a search....

I had my FZ1 Fuze block on top of my ECU under the stock seat.  Well that is not going to happen with the new Corbin seat.  I have read that it will fit in the tool box if you cut away the sides of the tool box.  However, it seems as if most remove the FZ1 base when doing that.....so is it necessary to remove the fuze block base to get this to fit in the tool kit under the Corbin Seat?

I'd prefer to keep the fuze block somewhere under the seat.

Thanks!

I looked at that location.  I was hoping to mount it in a spot that if I wanted to add more accessories that I would not have to remove it in order to make the connection.  By pressing one side of the box all the way up to the seat mount it would make that difficult!

It comes off in less than a minute if you want to make another connection.

After posting I remembered the modeling clay valve clearance check method.  Found some modeling clay and went to work.
I mocked it up with the tool box lid cut off and the fuze block with base.  Turns out there is .40 inch clearance between the top of the block and bottom of the seat.

Thanks for the input.

I put mine under the left upper (black) fairing. I had to make a mount for it that bolts to the mirror mount. It is easily accessible and most of the stuff you add is in the front so the wiring is easier.

Sometimes I have a heck of a time finding posts with this website's search feature. 

Thanks!
