So I've been toying with some options for the fuses I need. I'll be running a 30a, and 2- 15a (one ignition, one lights/oil pressure). I bought some cheap "box shaped" breakers, but there is definitely not enough room with my electronics. Then I thought about maybe dong some inline fuses. I think they wold definitely work, but probably add a lot more extra wire than I'd really want.

Then I started searching for Fuse blocks and found this at Revival:

https://shop.revivalcycles.com/water...er-fuse-block/

After watching the video I determined this will work well; it's small and easy to set up. Once I have that I'll shoot some pictures on adding it. Then it's time to go through all the crucial fasteners to make sure we're ready to roll!

I'm looking forward to seeing how you wire that up. It looks like a great idea.

Those do look pretty good. Maybe I'll replace my stock fuse "block" with these some day.

Thanks for posting the link.

Thanks man, means a lot. As a friend of mine noted, “you’re never ‘done’ with projects like these” and i think he’s right.

Get yours done and i’ll ride out to you to celebrate!
