I know there was a previous thread on fuse blocks for our bikes.
I added a relay for my air horn last year and now plan to add my Aux Power Plug. I hate running another set of wires to my battery.
Which one(s) work best for our R65's?
Mine's an R65LS

Not mon my R65, but my R1200ST, I installed a Fuzeblock. Handles up to 6 circuits, each of which can be individually configured to be always-on or, through the included relay, switched. Just wire it to battery +, - and a switched power source like the taillight.

This is the one I stuck under the "radio box" on my RT-P. I think it was from Del City. I wired in my driving lights and fogs to their own fused circuits with relays...

This is a simple fuse block but it doesn't have a common 'live' bar. You need to run a separate positive or jump them across.
This one has 4 fuse slots but they make them with 6 or more I think.
From memory it's a 'Narva' product.
The additional high and low beam relays were fitted when I rewired the headlight in heavy cable to try and improve the light output.

If I purchase something like this could I ditch the stock fuse block with the ceramic fuses? I'd have enough ports & could use modern fuses, correct?

You can eliminate the OEM fuse block with that setup .
