It's a fantastic idea. A bit big for a bike application, almost 30 cm long.
Could fit it into a pannier or topbox.

well on the 1100 it would fit above the headlight behind the dash although it would mean remove the screen to access it,
But once fitted and every thing connected !.
And at least there would be the power supply for all the front farkles.
It would also save on running so many wires along the frame work.

I was only looking the $69.95 unit.
but I think some one amongst us might have better or easier solutions I hope so.

The 4004USB looks good. Put a couple of extensions on the USB ports.

Hey Tipsy
Have you seen the fuse blocks at Jaycar, thinking of getting one of them myself.

Yes I have seen the fuse blocks and I actually have one, but the problem there is that you need a power supply to each one.

Where as what is wanted is 1 power line in & multiple lines out. like an earth busbar.
Maybe I should see if I can melt enough plastic around 1 so as to insulate it.  :think1
It is not required to have each outlet fused as the incoming can be fuse individually if needed.
so still  :think1

Hi Tipsy
I thought one of the Jaycar salesman showed me a fuse block that had a single input wire.  It looks like that on some of the photos.
He did say that for one of the models he makes enough short connecting wires to bridge all of the individual power input terminals but a single input is clearly simpler.

Hi Tipsy,

Is this the fuse block type you are after??

I've seen them before and they look neat.
Cheers

Here is what you need, smaller and made for bikes. No need for 100 A capacity, the bike cant handle it

I have 4 of these, don't see a need for 12v outlets, can all use the same supply as current draw is minimal with USB stuff.
