In view of my "perfect" knowledge of English, nothing is clear to me, but it is very pleasant to hear a familiar voice that tells about connecting an auxiliary unit to a motorcycle. I am sure many will appreciate this video, which may be useful.
Will do a review this week, thanks for the suggestion. In short, I am quite happy with that fuse box, however, there are better (and more expensive options). I'll do pros and cons. I am not sure that would be able to handle full 20A, to be honest. However, for my stuff and on my bike it holds pretty well.
I did not. Why would you need a relay? If my understanding of electrical theory is correct, you use a relay when you want to decouple high working current from the control line. This fuse box is designed to handle 4 lines of 5A at 12V each (20A total). As long as your load does not exceed 5A per line, everything should be fine. If one of the lines is exceeding 5A, the fuse will blow and that's the whole purpose of these fused lines -- they protect your bike from catching fire.
@@HikeWithABike thanks for the explanation, I'm looking to add spotlight to my scooter... All the tutorials I found on RUclips has relay that's why want to confirm. The spotlight uses 1.3A so I guess should be fine to directly connect to the fuse box 🙂
1.3A at 12V is around 15W. I hooked up a pair of LED spotlights 18W each directly to the fuse box (no relay) and protected the circuit with 5A. The fuse is usually chosen a bit higher than the expected current, but not too high. You also need to consider the wire diameter you use: it should be rated higher than the fuse you chose. The summary is that I, personally, would not do relay if the current is below 5A. On my bike, I do have a couple of custom relays: one is for the extra loud horns - the horns consume 15A at the peak, so the control line comes from the button to the relay and the power delivery comes from the battery. The second relay I have is to switch off the ABS motor. People usually just hook a switch in line, but I wanted a bit more safety and used normally closed relay there (so, if the control line is messed up, I still have my ABS). Hope this helps.

Do you have a review of the fusebox after som months use and how much have you connected to it?

Nice. I have the same box but literally no space on the 701.
Need to install relay for this fuse box?

@@HikeWithABike thank you so much for the detailed explanation, it's really helpful 😊
link to get the fuse block? actually i found it but i can't get it shipped to the united states, not allowed...doh!
www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804984019546.html - should ship to the US
