Installed an Eastern Beaver PC-8 Switched Fuse Block today. I needed an easy way to automatically turn off Driving Lights, Sat Radio and Speakers and this was a good recommendation from another thread.

Since I already have a Stebel horn under the left side cover, I had to settle for mounting the fuse block directly behind the battery.



Finished install:



Eastern Beaver does not recommend running the leads for the Stebel horn through the fuse block so it is still tied directly to the battery with the relay under the left side cover.

The quality of the product and leads are top notch. So much so that I've ordered their H4 light relay kit and a power socket kit. The power socket will be easy to wire in now that I have a nifty fuse block.

btw, the switch lead (blue wire) was tapped into the tail light lead which is the yellow wire located behind and to the right of the ECU under the right side cover. The supplied T-tap worked quite well.
 
May Have Fit

I have also installed this...I put it on top of the battery with velcro
 
Before adding extra load to the ignition switch make sure you put relays on the headlights and other accessories with high current draw. This will reduce the chance of the switch failing. There are switched accessory plugs already available on the bike. You can use these to trigger relays to power lights and heated vests.
