Cable routing does not appear to be affected from what I can tell. Total install time was 10 minutes or so. Handle bars off: http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/7290/imag0035iu.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/263/imag0035iu.jpg/) Installed: http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/5043/imag0036py.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/imag0036py.jpg/) Left turn clearance: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5392/imag0037zm.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/imag0037zm.jpg/) Right turn clearance: http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1434/imag0038zx.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/imag0038zx.jpg/) Close up left: http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/1818/imag0039yn.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/imag0039yn.jpg/) Close up right: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/9053/imag0040rc.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/imag0040rc.jpg/)

I am fitting my fuse block now and have some questions about it. the parts I am using: blue seas 5025 10 gauge auto/marine wire crimp connectors (temporary until I get my soldering skills up to speed) http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/2650/dsc0647q.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/846/dsc0647q.jpg/) I still need to get a relay, what 1 should I use? 25/30amp? it will be wired to my tail light. I also have a question regarding grounding. Is the connection to the battery and relay sufficient?

Sorry for the blurry pics, but I finished when it was dark out. The fuse box will be permanently mounted with some screws through the plastic. I am going to look at ways to make it more weatherproof as the area seems to attract a lot of dirt and maybe a little water. http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7718/imag0003gb.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/3/imag0003gb.jpg/) I had to lift the tank to route the wire into the battery box area http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9161/imag0004ul.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/29/imag0004ul.jpg/) I picked up a 30 amp relay and have to wire that in. I also picked up an inline fuse that I am going to add in just in case. Better pics and a more detailed writeup to follow, but this will allow me to power the stebel compact I picked up as well as wire in some leads for my cell phone. I will also add my parts list should anyone wish to replicate this on their 14.

A bunch of upgrades just came in so I need to get some garage time this weekend to install. Updated the parts list as well.

The NIB muzzy m14 header has been sent off to jet hot. I will update with pics once it gets back. I am looking to permanently mount my gopro mounts in several places on the bike. has anyone used them and mounted them with more than the adhesive backing that comes on the plastic mounts?
