Everyone please stop posting electrical gagets . I started with an
FZ1 fuse block thinking i'll never need all this. Well look at me now!

(tip) use ear plugs behind battery nuts to hold them in place. Just
in case you ever want to take battery bolts out. I got heated grips ,
heated seat, jacket liner, gloves, gps, speedohealer, gear indicator, 2 sets
of auxillery lights, volt meter, dash light and I think there may be more .

Start on the negative side and find a good ground on the engine or frame and move some there. That'll clean up your negative post at least.
As hoebster mentioned. An insulated junction box for your positive cables mounted in an easy to reach location. Then just run one to your battery from there. You could even put an inline fuse between the junction box and battery in the event something shorts out.

Love the picture though. :D

With vibration, having a bunch of terminals like that will eventually loosen and leave you walking. As others have noted, put two bus bars (+ & -) somewhere, such as in front of the cluster of relays. The ones that best adapt for bikes are at the boating store, or make them from a piece of copper bar.
