There is room there, I hadn't thought of adding a fuse block, that's a good idea. I'm loving that seat, so comfortable. I can ride for hours without feeling the need to change feet position or move around in the seat. It is very comfortable. I went for the lowest cost seat they offered and I'm very happy with it. I modeled a seat I made based on their design several years ago and was very pleased with the comfort but my version didn't look anywhere near as nice as the one they made. I've had Mustang seats and they were definitely an improvement over OEM seating but not even in the same ball park as this one by Russell. I'd recommend it to anyone that rides for more than just commuter distances.

Just a couple thoughts on the fuse block etc. You need a flat surface of some sort. I used a piece of plexiglass(it was handy) as a mounting surface and secured everything with 2 sided sticky tape. The plexi is easy to work with and is nonconductive in case there is a serious malfunction. Circuits for heated grips, Stebel air horn, heated grips, driving lights, 12 volt power point, and IIRC 2 more available fuses for future whatevers or a space for spare fuses that is handy.

I am presently working with a Blue Sea fuse block in the CTX which is very nice and well designed.

Something that surprised me with the CTX is Honda has spare fuses attached to the OEM fuse panel cover. Pretty neat idea. That is an idea anyone could use with the help of a tiny piece of sticky tape on almost any bike.
