Cheap Fuse box for Suzuki GS

I was searching high and low for an aftermarket fuse box for the GS and it’s unbelievable how expensive they are. At $35 you get a plastic box that I wouldn't put on a lawn mower and as the quality gets better, the price goes up to several hundred dollars.

I needed a fuse box with minimum 7 terminals and after a lot of searching, I found out that the Honda CBR 600 fuse boxes are perfect for the GS and it comes with 7 terminals and two spares which you could wire as well to have 9 terminals. For the price, you can find the on eBay all day long and I paid $10 bucks for mine with free shipping. Mine is from a 1990 model but they all look the same.

I am making a 5 relay block as well to tidy up all the wiring so I’ll post a picture of that shortly.

Can't tell from the labels, ... are there two separate busses like the GS?

What I mean is; are some fuses HOT all the time and others SWITCHED?

I haven't got it yet so i don't know but you can wire it however you like. The back side comes off (I was told).
 
Actually, it appears to have three circuits, but who's counting?

The fan and tail light share a connector, but have completely different feed and load wires, therefore two circuits. All the other fuses share another connector and a common feed.

To put that in a GS would be easy, you would just have to change some of the fuse labels.

Three indeed.
 
the 2 spare fuses at the bottom are actually just spare fuses, not 2 spare circuits.
the 20 amp fuse should be a 15 amp fuse as it says on the label
