    I've seen it somewhere, posted by Scott I believe (Mr HighFive) but cant find it by searching.

    I'm planning to extend electrics of my bike to accomodate additional devices: power connector to GPS, power output via cig. lighter type plug and possibly additional LED lights.

    I dont like the idea to mess with connecting all of that directly to battery. I need simple and clean method to take my battery in and out. I think I need some kind of switch. Any ideas, guys ?

    Either a fuse block..or PowerLet makes a gizmo called the Termin-8. Allows up to 8 farkles to be hooked up..it's small..easy to use and has a fused link. Revzilla has a video on the thing if you'll look. sorry..don't have a link...just google.

    I've used both...the fuse block is bigger and has individual fuses and most will allow switched or unswitched power. The unswitched is handy for charging your cell with the bike off...draws little from the battery. The Termin-8 does not have individual fuses ...but still pretty cool. Very easy to stuff in a small place.

    Hide everything under windscreen, lots of room under there, keep battery area uncluttered like Mario says

    I used the connection for my Battery tender (fused). I had some extra connectors, wired one into a 12V lighter outlet. It does come direct off the battery, so if I leave my bike for a few days, I do unplug the connection under the seat. Not a perfect solution, but it works. Plus was cheap! $12 for the outlet, already had the connectors.
