12v access point
I will be adding a 12v access point and tapping power from the fuse box to supply it. I don't remember from the last time I had the side cover off if there is an easy way to tap into the fuse box. Anyone with experience in this matter? I would like to have an idea before I get started tomorrow. 2008 FLHT. Thanks
Oh yeah... also installing the HD engine heat shields. Any tips on setting the well nuts? I heard it is a pain. Thanks

As for the heat shields, I installed them a year or so ago on my '04 EG--same frame, space, etc. as your '08. It was easily the biggest pita project of the many, many mods I've made to my bike because the space is so limited between the frame and rear cylinder valve cover. My only suggestion is to create as much space as you can under the seat for your hands. I don't recall the details--probably a desire to forget the frustration of installing the heat shields.
Good luck with your projects.

in the port there are 4 holes one is switched on tax,one on ignition,on hot,one ground,use a 12 volt test light to figure with one u want, use a crimp on duetch connecter(about 10 cents) and plug it into the hole ,no need for a 20$ harness.
