Eastern Beaver Plug And Play

[J.A.P]

Title pretty much says it all. Looking for a fuse block someone may have taken off their bike and has laying around. Would like one with the compete harness as I'm a complete noob when it comes to relays and the like. I also like the clean install of their harness. Thanks for looking.

Here's another option besides Eastern Beaver. The one at the bottom comes with the plug that fit the ST.

Why doesn't anyone make these in the states?
Seems easy enough to build when you have the parts. :

That's always the annoying part. I paid up for all the stuff to makes relay kits (wires, wire taps, fuses, relays, terminal kit, etc.) and can now make tons of them. Overall cost is lower than paying for one of these but then you have to learn how to do all the wiring and hoping that you don't kill any current connections on the bike.

Now I'm starting to wonder if I should start building low-tech relay kits.

Thanks a lot for the links. I'm really interested in the Eastern Beaver though for some reason. It looks like such a clean and easy install.

It is. It's highly unlikely anyone will remove one from a bike. Most any buyer would see the benefits of having it, even those that might not spend the money to add it to the bike. It's always possible you'll find that guy that stripped every single thing off the bike prior to selling it or trading it in, but while hope springs eternal, how long are you willing to keep trying?

Is there some reason you're not just ordering one from Eastern Beaver? Just the hopes of getting one for less than full retail?

For those of us comfortable with electrical stuff, it's a simple construction, that doesn't negate the benefits of having the exact connectors/pins required for true plug and play though. Even though I bought the Eastern Beaver PC8, I still made up another aux fuse block to use in addition to it, to meet my individual needs.

+1 to what Eric wrote. I've never heard of anybody removing a fuse block or even simpler/less expensive relay before selling a bike. It's just not worth the time to remove. If it is about the cost, in all but the current bike, I've simply made my own relay with distribution strips and seldom spent more than $5-$10.

Thanks for the replies,

No, I'm not afraid of paying full retail and will end up doing that soon it seems. I was just testing the waters for the exact scenario you mentioned. It was going to be a winter project, when I replace the battery, so I was in no hurry what so ever. I have a "FEW" accessories hooked right to the battery and want to wire them differently during the off season. I will be following a couple of great examples from members of this fine forum.
