Centech install

I recently got a Centech fuse box and relay. I don't want to drill a bunch of holes in the bike to mount it. I saw a pic of a bracket that sits on top of the air cleaner and uses existing screw to mount. I like the idea. Is the bracket for sale or does one have to construct one themselves? I'm sure this topic has been covered but i can't find the thread, sorry.

I have a Centech on order. When it arrives, FWIW, I intend to use a wide strip of velcro to hold it in place.

The airbox mount is from CycleNutz;

I just got mine the other day. I have a Blue Sea fuse block and on my R1100R the seat will not go on in the low position.
I had to trim the front of the seat pan to get it to go in the middle position. I am going to remove the tank so I can see exactly what the problem is. I think the Centech is smaller than the Blue Sea so you may not have a problem.

Is this a water tight enclosure ? The only real failing of the Centech unit is that it's completely open. I think the Centechs are somewhat smaller than the Blue Sea. The usual Centech mount on the RR is to make a little plate to bolt to those screws where the diognostic plug used to be, or perhaps like Twempie suggested, a strip of velcro.

It is not water tight. The cover on the Blue Sea has cut-outs for the wiring so the only real protection is from the seat. If water becomes a problem some closed cell foam strips in the cover cut-outs might help.

Here's what I did a number of years ago, and it works fine w/o having to drill any holes on the bike.

+1 here.
much the same.
mate milled me a 'L' brkt. sits right under the tank, (no water problems in 12 mths) but uses the 2 air box screws to fix
Diagnostic plug moved forward to allow above.
