Does my wire routing look okay for accessory port bank? By olivertwisted (Read 518 times)

I'm planning on installing my bank of accessory ports to run only when the bike is running. Electrical circuits make my head go extra berserk so, I should check this with anyone savvy on this type of thing. I want to be extra careful on this or, not to install it at all.
I'm planning on using a relay instead of a switch (30A).  I also bought a fuse block to use since, I don't want everything fused at 15A , but I do for the 12V port (On good recommendation of some of my friends in here). I'm guessing at a 3A each, for the other two ports ? I'm questioning whether the first fuse at the battery is even necessary?
What do you think of the wire routing that I worked up here? Please, notice that I'm not sure about proper ground routing for the accessory contacts, if it does matter.
 Thanks folks, for any help!

Oh yeah! Heres pics of the acual relay !

I would stay with the main fuse for safety. As far as grounding you can join all the grounds together and have one wire going to a good grounding source. Of course the single wire should support all the ports at work.
Your doing fine.

Don't need at least a relay,,,let me explain,,,for one the charging systems on these machines are marginal at best so the extra load of the relay will take away from the total available,,,next is a personal call,,,if I was to put a port on mine I would connect it direct from the battery so it was "on" all time so power was available when the machine was "off",,,but a switch is not out of the realm of reason,,,,I go by the old off-roader adage "if it ain't there it ain't fu(kin up",,,but that's me,,,

With the volt meter should she have the circuit switched some how, to disable the meter?

put the volt meter on the ign sw.

Ahhh okay. I was thinking that the relay wouldnt pull any more than the accessories pulled through it. I'm grateful for the heads up.
So, back to a switch for all three, tapped into the ignition wire.
I'll head back to my drawing board (I've got to see the circuit laid out to think it through). I'll check back.
Thanks, fellas!
