The more I add to my bike, the more I have to add to the battery terminals. Of course, everytime I work in the bike it seems I have to remove the negative terminal, which is getting to be a real chore since I have several connections in place.

How does everyone else handle this? There's got to be a better way to add accessories and I'm just too dense to see it.

 

Ah set up terminal strips for both sides of the battery - the hot side has fuses fer the accessories, the negative side is jest a central point ta run grounds to. That way, ah've only got one line from each terminal....

 

I've thought about doing that, but must have laid down until the thought went away! What kind of terminal strips didyou use? Something I could pick up at a local auto store? Sounds like the way to go, Texas.

 

Ah cheated....Lewis Preston over at Electrical Connection has some handy rigs. Ah could outsource the components an' save a coupla bucks, but doin' it with his stuff saved me a ton of time, so....

Thanks for the link, Texas. Sounds like that might solve my problem. Now maybe I won't be "stripping" that 10 mm bolt in the battery terminal!

 

Yer quite welcome - he's got some interestin' stuff....
