Default sportster 08 fuse relay block cover

Got bored this weekend. Build a fuse cover with a polyester and glue gun for my 2008XLC. Due to design issue, the fuse and relay block easily got corrosion after washing or raining.

isnt the problem with the water running down the frame into the fuse block? I like your idea but I dont think it will keep water from running down the frame tube into the block.

I am not trying to prevent water from running down to fuse block but reduce the chance of water splashing to the block after running down thru the hole to pass gas vent hose.



Plan to wash bike recently, I will take some pictures from the block before drying it. Hope the cover will do what I want...
