You know this post makes me think about the positive fused distribution block location options. I have a 2010 Ultra and the clutch side cover is already full with my tuner, Anderson connectors, RCA cables and the wire for my iPod.

I would love to see some pics of other places a fused distribution block could be mounted, say maybe a mini ANL unit. I'm currently running three amps and several other accessories so I'd love to see some pics of mounted distribution blocks. I've heard some can go under the brake side cover but don't recall seeing any pics. I've heard some folks say they can go behind the battery up against the rear fender but I think those were just one wire in and two wire out units.

On my 14 limited with ABS I have a 200amp circuit breaker, 3 output fused power distribution block and a 3 way ground distribution block on the front side of the ABS module.
If it wasn't such of a PITA to get my bags off I would take a picture.

I understand things being tricky with these setups. I'm sure Carlos would make fun of my setup from dusk till dawn but there are very specific reasons why my equipment is in the places it is.

You wouldn't happen to remember the part numbers of the blocks you used would you? I don't know if the 13 and down bikes have as much room around that ABS blocks as the Rushmores do or not.

Now you are asking for a miracle LMAO

I was lucky to remember my birth given name when I crawled out of bed this morning. But I do remember the name my wife calls me all the time LOL.

I bought my system from Carlos at NVS , I added the frame ground he show's in the video , he sent a distribution block with my system thats fused for both amps and an aux power for any accessories I want to run. The green block I added to run any accessories off the aux power wire and ground I added from the new frame ground.

That looks nice Stopit. Unfortunately a lot of us have a big old ABS hydraulic unit where all that stuff is.

This is from last spring actually , I know there a pretty busy shop these days , I called them when I ordered mine , had to ship my freshly acquired GTS to them and have it unlocked , flashed , and Apple Car Play / Android Auto activated. There's plenty of punch in this system for sure.
