Read through more info on the CV B2 and putting the order in for it today. I was also told to get something else so that the battery doesn't have all these connections. Can't remember what the name is if someone out there knows. Small box sits between the battery and the fairing and has the HU, amp, power outlet can go thru (fuse protected) and that box to the battery.

2012 Switchback...I think the name of the one I was told to get is a Denali Power Hub2. Anyone installed something like this?

So, finally got the HU installed in the Dead Center fairing. No room for an amp really, but after firing up the HU with the Polk MM651 speakers, it sounds pretty good, I will be leaving it, for now. Can always open it up and see where to add the amp. It wasn't easy wiring in the Denali powerhub. The battery box on the Switchback is a tight one, so had to take the box out and file the opening at the back so the wires from the Denali would have room with the positive terminal connection. Once that was done, they fit and the cover fits.
Will post pics later....

I guess I'm missing something. Besides the amp that you plan on installing, what else are you hooking up to the battery that you need a power distribution block?
