I have used the search feature and have not quite found what I was looking for. So I had to make a new post. I am nearly complete with my R tail section on my XB12S. The only problem I am running into is to find a decent spot for the fuse block. It seems just a little too big to fit in the tail section nicely. What have other people done about this? If anybody could give me some ideas I would appreciate it.

Otherwise the fuse block is coming off and I will just zip tie the wires together.

Also, I must apologize for beating this topic into the ground. Im sure you have heard this one a million times. But I am new to the Buell and still getting a feel for everything. Once I do finish the job, I'll take lots of pictures that will help facilitate others should they decide to do a similar project.

It'll fit.

I'll try to remember to take a pic of how I did mine tonight.

I could fabricate a mount, but mount it where? It seems to *kinda fit right next to the battery but it's definatley a tight squeeze.

Also, any good suggestions for the rear brake reservoir?

i put the S tail on my R. for the rear brake reservoir i just bought a new one from daves. around $20, and it came with a new hose and clamps.

the reservoir on the two bikes is totally different in the way they mount and were the line goes into it. for me, buying the one for the S model was easier than trying to make a bracket.
