Use the horn wire to switch your relay. It's only on with the key, and it's non-critical, and it has a separate fuse.

To make the hot-tap for any 'ignition-on' power source, you can utilize the piggyback style blade push-on connnectors (usually OK for the horn). Your diagram is slightly off - in that you'll want to just connect the ignition-on power just to the relay coil. You'll then have a "master accessory fuse" that feeds the common terminal on the relay, rated at the combined total amperage of the devices you're going to run. Your accessories will power off of the "NO" (normally open) terminal. Make sure that you have supply wiring from the battery to the relay, and from the relay to the fuse block of sufficient gauge to handle the amperage draw. Same with the return wiring. Blue Sea stuff is pretty nice. There are some solutions also available at www.cyclegadgets.com - take a look at these: http://www.cyclegadgets.com/Products...t.asp?Item=CEN
I've done a bit of wiring on my bike...

 That's how I did my grip heaters. Do you know the output of your stator and the requirements for your gear? You might need to be careful of overloading the bike's system.

I wound up buying this, its supposed to be marine quality so I'm guessing it should be water proof.

I wonder if I can upgrade my stator without building something. It would be nice.
