[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 208213, member: 4617"] The panel is a glossy black, but the plastic on the bike is a blue colour. Went to the local plastics place and it has blue spray for plastics. Will take in a piece off the 1500 and get a colour that is as close as possible. Time to freshen up the colour anyway. Looking into various options for gauges, switches, etc. There are combo units that have a voltmeter, USB, power outlet, and a single rocker switch that would fit the panel, or do I use individual pieces. Haven't made up my mind. Either way, the panel needs to be cut. Here is an example of the combo unit: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Voltmeter - USB combo.jpg"]17722._xfImport[/ATTACH] I looked at the install instructions for the FZ-1 and it calls for a 30 amp in-line fuse using 12 GA wire for the 12 VDC supply and a 3 amp for the switch wire - 18 GA. With a 30 amp relay, should be able to handle 30 amps. I chose the FZ-1 over the Eastern Beaver PC-8 product this time because of the integral relay. Both have an integrated ground bus, but wiring up a separate relay for switched power requires more room and wire for the additional relay. As an accessory fuse block, 6 circuits is more than sufficient.
