I've said this before Steve. I really like that install. The only down side is having to remove the filler panel to get to it. But a very nice install!

 I used my C10 Murph's block on my C14 under my heated Corbin seat. I did have to separate the relay and make a ground lug. But it made for quick and easy access to the fuses. It came in handy when the switch for my Symtec grip heaters failed in the hi position and would not turn off. (I was on a trip) I just pulled the fuse. Then on the way home. It was all cold rain. So I just plugged them back in. Then replaced the switch when I got home. So sometimes easy access is a plus!
