Fuse Advice

[brumbackkid]

I've always packed extra fuses in my tool bag for extended trips...not sure what , if any fuses are a good idea to have along with the new GS...thoughts?

What are you going to do with them on the GS....

I think there is an aux lighting fuse on the GSA. I carry spare fuses for my Fuzeblock where my after market add-ons are attached.

At some point BMW went to all software/electronic fuses for the
GS. So there is no fuse box per-se from the factory. For after market
stuff guys usually add a "physical" fuse box and wire directly to the battery.
Guys will run activation relays off anything that has power on start up. The
tail light wiring seems popular. Lot of neat systems and posts on this
in the forum archives. Marcs posts on his install are a good place to
start if your adding for amp using stuff.

Thanks...that is what I thought but i wanted to hear it from an owner. I plan on adding a accessory block so I can plug in when the weather is cold and of course the radar and other novelties.

Let me suggest Helge Pederson and GlobeRiders for what to
pack for GS support:

I came away from one of his seminars with a great checklist and I think
it is available on their website. They are GS "centric", and very nice
people. They really know their stuff.
