I don't like having to run an additional power line to the battery every time I add something to my ride and was thinking of going with something like a 4 or 6 fuse power distribution panel.  Not sure where I would put it but there must be somewhere.  Just wondering what everyone else does and would appreciate any pic's or links.

I have the Eastern Beaver PC-8.

I put it behind the battery in that area where the tool kit was.

Not completed yet in this pic, but you get the idea.
One main connection to the battery, trigger fed from the stock "switched" connection under the right side cover.
Each connection to the Fuzeblock can be always live or switched.
(3) relays.  1 for driving lights, 1 for the air horn, and 1 for our electric heated vests/gloves. And (1) wrapped in a sock in the tool tray as a spare... Grin



I'll try to post a completed pic later.

Here is another location alternative, again using an Eastern Beaver PC-8.  Perhaps a little more work, but on a Tourer, I consider the tool box area too valuable to be used for electrical stuff...
