Or if all else fails just drop by radio shack and get 4 of these

Not as slick looking as a nice box, but they do the part just perfect, and the snap caps keep dirt out really well too (I've a hole in my undertail right next to the wiring, so it's not all that protected from road grime)

Actually come to think of it get 5 of them and replace the fuse in the headlight bucket with one as well.  It may not be broken, but one day when it does blow on you while you're on the road it's going to be a lot easier to find a blade fuse than another glass one (you should have seen the look the guy behind the parts desk at the car dealership gave me)

Rider2>Well it has different geometry now.

No fuses in the distribution block. It's basically a hot strip and a ground strip run through a relay. Hot & Ground - From the battery to the battery. I have a 15amp fuse in the power lead. It seems to be working quite well.

I don't know if you found one, but here's where I ordered mine.

At the bottom of the page... I got the 8-gang. 4 for the current circuits. 1 for my fog/driving lights. 1 for my GPS power. I still have two spare circuits available.
