So, can someone tell me why I need a relay to wire the Centech fuseblock?
A relay would be required if you wanted it to be a power source turned on with ignition. The AP-1 does not have a relay, it is pretty much just terminal screws connected to fuse sockets.

If you want the power to be hot all the time, we can hook it right to battery. But with the AP-1, circuits either all have to be switched power or they all have to be constant hot. You can't mix and match like you can with Fuzeblock.

That is why I bought the FZ-1. It gives you both options with no extra wiring.

 
Alright, looks like 1 out of the 3 tires arrived at Bust's house today. Plans are in the works to try and intercept the other 2.

So the 1 that arrived is the Goldwing front tire and we'll be bringing the rear tire with us. If somehow I can get my tires there by Saturday, great. If not, I'm still coming and will do the electrical work that I promised.

Was told by EPM on Monday that they would have my shock done by early next week. I told them I really hoped to have it in time for tech day at Bust's this weekend.

It looks like they came through! Got an e-mail today saying they shipped my shock and I should have it Friday!

 
Looks like ***** coming together for everyone. I got my cheaper price at the Comstock. After the geek told me where to go on line (he's a freekin genius) I got it for $70 a night. So I might just stay til Tuesday or Wednesday so save me a place at the dinner table Bust!

Any idea on how much (length) wire I'll need for the Centech fuse block? also what colors, and gauges would be most helpful?

...Just so I know what to borrow from work

Figure we have to get from the battery to wherever you plan on mounting the Centech. I like to stick with the red and black color scheme usually. I have miles of 22 gauge. 12-14 gauge will be the most helpful. Needs to get us from the battery to wherever you want to mount the Centech. Plus anything heated will probably use that. Might want to check with pista and Wayne to split some cost. The 22 should cover the small stuff (phone chargers, GPS, 12V outlets, etc.)

Worst case, Home Depot isn't that far away and should have everything we need.

Ok so as of this point we're looking at 15 people being here.. Noted.

I only post this we need to have an idea how much food and munchies we'll need to keep you fuks from raiding the house fridge.

 
I'll have some goodies in my top case...

Floating the idea past the warlord of coming over Friday night... I'll let you know if I get scalped or not.

We had to make a swim for it when we got to the Blue Water Bridge....

Swimming with Ray's pickup on my back was hard but we made it across with all our Great White North Liberation Army armament.

We made our first assault at the Wallmart. Ray was the perfect camo to fit in with the rest of the Wallmart people. Our most important capture was a package of Almond Joy Bars...

An army does not travel well on an empty stomach so we made a strategic stop downtown at It's a Deli Thing to fuel up on a Big Bob while we made plans to assault the local Tim Horton's...

We made our final beach landing at Bust's without too many parts falling off our landing craft....

We were all checking out Bust's new ride....

The doctor told Bust that this was still too high performance at this time so Bust rides his newest set of wheels over to the pub...

All the excitement of shopping at Wallmart ended up being too much for Ray....
