Wiring in multiple accessories?

I currently have a cigarette lighter socket, heated grips, charging lead and air horn all wired in directly to the battery with individual in-line fuses. I'm about to add another set of wires for a direct connection from the R/R and would like to tidy it all up a bit.

It seems pretty straightforward to get another small fuse holder and have that between the accessories and the battery, but what's the best way of dealing with all the -ve wires?

You could remove the main earth connector from the battery to the loom, splice in another spade/bullet and run them all into that.

When joining a lot of wires I run splices down the length of the run of wire, rather than just have a big ball of solder and black nasty... the bit of loom then lies flat. If you solder the connectors and use adhesive backed heatshrink the resulting connections are really robust.

A fuse panel? http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Pr...fuseboxes.html

Go to breakers, buy old SV fuse board.

Splicing in to the main earth is probably the simplest - I just have a slight aversion to mucking about with the stock wiring. No major reason for this other than not wanting to break anything, and also I like being able to undo any changes I make without leaving wiring/splices.

The fuse panel is pretty much what I was looking for. I quite like the Eastern Beaver one though I may look at building one myself - looks easy enough to do, the trick would be making it small.

Probably a stupid question, but does the SV fuse board have -ve connections?

No just live.

Generally with most fuse boards all -ve are common and return to ground.
