Help me out - I need the one with a negative bus, right? That means that I can run the ground wires for my accessories into the fuse block, right?
Also - I will still need relays, even with the fuse block - what's a good source - radio shack? Any particular brand or type/rating?

Bob, you can go to Radio shack, 20 amp, 12 volt
Or you can go here

They have everything you need, relay kits the whole 9 yards.
Just solder everything, or if you use crimp-on connectors let me know. I have an aviation set of crimpers that will never come loose you can borrow.

BTW they also sell Posi-lock connectors, real good stuff.
Yes on the Negative Bus. Yes on the relays, at least for high draw stuff like lights and big horn. Most auto parts stores also sell them.

Bob,
If you have a Fry's - visit them for relays - they have Bosch 30amp/32 volt rated ones for about $4.95 - they are sealed and German made. Could probably get them online too. The Radio Shack are cheap from Taiwan and not sealed and if I recall about $8.
Solder - if you can - less chance of corrosion.

A while ago I bought the Stebel Magnum TM80 Replacement horn for my R1150R. Although it is louder than the stock horn, I'd like it to be a little louder still. Would putting it on a relay help? (Or is it already on a relay?). How about an air horn? If I put in an air-horn would I then need a relay? Thanks and Cheers.

Randy, the Stebel air horn from the Adventure Workshop comes with a relay and Yes, I would recomend that you use it.
