Has anyone tried one of these power hubs? Seems like a pretty nice design and could probably fit right in under the seat with the airbox out. I've got a couple extra powered accessories plus the battery charger that could be routed to this. Looks really clean and simple. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/powerhub2...for-motorcycles

Looks like a great idea. I like the way it reduces clutter on the battery terminals. Like you say, the size probably only works with airbox removed. I made a smaller more modest version which sits under the tank by the rear engine mount. It has 4 switched fused accessory controls for the accessories I wanted individual control over.
The Denali Powerhub2 connections are either always on or switched with ignition, which is good but I need more versatility with accessible individual switches for some accessories/circuits. Have a think about what how you want to control the power to each accessory.
My accessories & controls currently hard wired to the battery but I would put through the Powehub2 (if I had no airbox):
- Heated gear connection - switched with ignition
- Cigarette plug for iPhone charger - always on
- Spare Powerlet plug (battery charging) - always on
- Direct headlight harness - switched with ignition (but retaining the starter headlight cutout relay)
- Headlight modulator.
In my switch box:
- Boosteroo iPod amplifier - switched
- GPS - switched
- Voltmeter - wired on with ignition but a switch here to turn on when ignition is off to check battery status without starting the engine.
- Bypass for low battery starter disabler - switched - when the battery falls below 12.6v the ECU disables the starter. This is a bypass for emergencies to engage the starter.
If, like me, you need individual switch control over some accessories/electrical circuits you could always add an inline switch somewhere handy.
Cheers, Richard

Right, the position of the 30 Amp main fuse determines whether it's always on or switched. Right now I have heated gear connected straight to the battery posts and want to add power for the GPS. I think I would, like you, prefer to have the heated gear (Warm-n-Safe) controller and the GPS both in a switched mode. The battery charger could probably be connected straight to the battery posts or to the input side of the Hub. I like your idea of connecting the phone charger to an "always on" circuit. I wonder if there's a way to split the circuits inside the hub and put 2 30 amp fuses in?! Or, could just use the powered accessory plug under the tank.
Thanks for the feedback!

I do the battery charging through the powered accessory port under the tank which I changed to a Powerlet jack. Here's a link to my thread on my custom switch box ... Switchbox forum thread
