Someone posted this on another forum, and I thought it had a lot of good modifications that would be of interest for others.

The Blue Sea fuse block looks very nice, and there is even a local supplier near my house. I need to drop by and check it out for size for my ACE Tourer.

Holy. Crap.

That guy has too much time and money on his hands!  A water cooled jacket fed by a cooler in the trailer?  3 fuel tanks with a total capacity of 30 gallons?  FLIR?  Aircraft cockpit mounted on the power height-adjustable windshield?

Sheesh.

Had a feeling when I saw the FLIR and all the lights that he is a serious Iron Butt Association member.  Just glanced at the thread and with all the fuse blocks, he's probably running multiple GPSes, and a laptop or tablet based mapping system.  Wouldn't be surprised if he's competed in several Iron Butt and other rallies.

Incredible amount of work on that bike, not to mention well done. Much more than I'd ever want to do. Just hope he takes time to ride once in awhile, lol.
I am actually bidding on one of those bluesea boxes on ebay..

Me too.  If only for the forest rats that inhabit my area and cross the road at my place.

WAY,WAY TO MUCH STUFF!  Shocked Shocked Beautiful workmanship.  cooldude

Not my cup of tea.  I don't even want a radio/music. 

I like to ride to get away from all that.

I consider all that as distraction and potentionally dangerous to the rider and all around.

GPS  ('s??) is cool, but getting lost is what's about for me.

Though, the FLIR is cool!

Wonder how long it will be till we can retro fit a aftermarket heads up screen for decent $$$.
