K1600GTL CB, Fuse Block/PDM60

Thinking about adding a CB (probably J&M) any hang ups or problems during the installation? Also with very little room under the seat (compared to the 2011RT) where did you place the fuse block/PDM60.

I installed the Fuse Block under the right side panel next to the seat. I used Velcro to hold it in place. When the panel is reinstalled, you don't know it is there.

It looks tight, but the PDM60 fits fine just behing the battery. I have a ground block, flasher module, and Isolator module installed there too....
 
The only cautions when adding a J&M CB are, 1; hook-up the power to a permanently hot and then the trip wire to a separate circuit. Do NOT hook up both wires to a PDM60 just the trip wire. 2; use a different antenna, I have a 3ft K40 that works great. The J&M antenna mount fro the K1600 works well. Also double check all your antenna grounds.
 
I mounted the PDM60 on the right side. You can see it in the upper-left of this picture. The lights are visible in the white rectangle.

I love the PDM60.
