Thanks for the reply.

Good to hear that there is a more "mechanical" fixing.  Some of the new trains I've been involved in had clamps on the breakers, was never a fan, much prefer a screw...  :)

Healtech just came out with their "Thunderbox" which looks pretty cool.

QuoteThe ThunderBox simplifies and safeguards the process of connecting aftermarket electronic accessories (such as extra running lights, heated grips, GPS, phone charger, extra gauges and any other powered devices) to your vehicle. It acts as an automatic and easy-to-handle power distributor between the battery and the accessories. With the quick connect terminal blocks supplied, the installation process is quick and simple, requiring no tools nor specialist knowledge.

The ThunderBox not only extends battery life, but protects the bike's electric system from overloading and short circuits. Get your power issues sorted – lightning fast!

Lightning fast connectivity

Connect auxiliary equipment fast, convenient and safe to the tool-free terminal blocks supplied. Just plug in the wires and you're set!

Two versions: 16A (TB-U01) and 2x16A (TB-U02)

Advanced tech:
Multiple working modes (automatic and ignition key controlled).
Constant electronic protection (over current, short circuit).
Fuseless design.

Stupid name. A good idea if just setting your bike up and not already sorted.

I did it myself with a relay switched off the ignition, I still need to tidy up the fuses though.

Same Hooli, I used the brown wire in the headlight (from memory) to energise the relay, which feeds the GPS, Radar Detector & a few USB outlet plugs.  The Relay is fused between the battery & the relay by a 20 amp fuse.  The relay is a 50amp one, I wanted it to handle everything with ease inc the jarring of being on a bike, works fine, never had any issues with the setup.
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Mines also good. Only usb/voltmeter and gear indicator on mine. Used the horn feeds. I just thought that box good for someone not as clever as you blokes. Not cheap compared to a relay and a few wires.

I used the orange feed to the ignition circuit off the fusebox and fitted my stuff under the seat. 30amp fuse in mine to run twat nav, heated grips, usb power block and heated clothes. The tidying I need to fit the small fusebox so each item has a neat fuse not their inline ones.
