Hi, is there a plate/ box anyone can recommend so I can take some accessory cables (heated clothing etc) off the battery terminals and just have the battery connectors on the terminal? Would make it easier to remove the battery and make it a lot "cleaner" looking

Thanks

I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.

Costs some money and a little work, but if you're gonna use more than 1-2 electrical accessories, I HIGHLY recommend a fuse box, I'm rather partial to the Eastern Beaver PC8.....

I've used the same company for both my Valks.  Eastern Beaver makes a good product.

What they said.

Bonus points - it's just fun to say "I just installed an Eastern Beaver on my Valkyrie".......

;D

Cen-tech ap 2 is another one available

I've had this one on mine and my brothers Valks for years and they work great. But I like the Eastern Beaver unit since it has the ability to have B+ and switched circuits. Lookin to possibly make the change this winter...

My PDM-60 used to be there.



Now it is where the toolkit should be.

Someone (BigWolf?) showed me a really slick behind-the-sidecover
installation a few years ago.

I might redo mine again :) ...

Eastern Beaver for me.  I have fog lights, radio, term for heated gloves and seat, usb.  Three of the terminals can be constant hot and the rest switched with the key.  Get the relay and battery cable as well.  I have several vacant for anything I want to connect.
Nothing in moderation...
