I'd trade the relay for a nice high power FET - save a lot of room and no mechanical parts.

I wonder how many he's selling at $80. Would take about 15 minutes to crank out the gerber files and have someone make the boards.

It means you need to come up with 80 bucks.

It cost me $40 for everything.

$20 fuse block, $8 for the relay, then wires, fuses and connectors were less than $10

The only thing that the $80 block has over my setup is that is that by switching a fuse you can have an accessory that has full time power, all my stuff is switched so it only works when the bike is on. On the plus side it will never cause me to drain my battery

Well, that's convenient. Bet those $80 guys didn't think of that option!

They did, but they also give you the option of power when the bike is off

I think you need to re-read what you wrote.
