Where have you placed your fuse panel as I am about to purchase one.

Check out Micky's pics on post #18 of the lights/electrics thread: http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146800

It's an ideal location just behind the battery, keeps the wires to it from the battery nice'n short. You may have to relieve some of the plastic 'lip' off the top panel, just above where the Centech unit fits... but no big deal.

Under the seat
Micky's idea's a good one but I couldn't put mine there because I've also fitted an Autocom in the slot behind the battery - you can see the gap in Micky's photograph. I've put mine under the seat - there seems to be plenty of clearance there.

I've followed Micky's idea (thanks Micky) and it's an ideal place. I didn't need to relieve any of the plastic lip. Also fitted a relay to power the Centech unit with the ignition on, the relay fits nicely out of the way in the recess under the unit (and behind the battery). Any wires from battery or to accessories can also be routed through the recess, all nice and neat.
My Autocom is under the seat by rear light, I think the Centech is better placed near the battery as I guess most accessories (lights, horns etc) will probably be 'up front', but its probably a case of which is fitted first.

I currently run my heated grips / heated Jacket and Aux lights at the same time, the latter two coming off the canbus in one way or another. Am I correct in assuming that these fuse panels allow you to get a switched power feed from the battery without going over the ampage of the canbus (cutting out etc). I hope that makes sense.....it does in my head

That's exactly correct, the Centech unit connects directly to the battery and hence bypasses can-bus. The Centech unit can additionally be powered on by the ignition using a relay, the relay is operated from an extremely small 'one time' current can-bus feed but the result is the same, power from the battery. Without a relay the unit is permanently powered which is OK for a lot of peeps. The usual rule on calculating current draw from the battery is still required.
