Tangled mess

Well, it looks 'messy' as you kinda suggest (per the 'tangled mess' description) but at least fair credit, you have them fused (at least 4 of the 5 I can see directly that you have added to the battery positive terminal);
Electrically it's functional, just a little congested - not pretty, but doing the job.

I counted 5 additions in the picture - can you list them for us as to what each circuit is for?
One looks like Battery Tender Pigtail if I recognize correctly
Imagine another would be EB Headlight Relay Kit?
The other three????

There are several ways you can go to minimize the clutter and one excellent one, as 1oldbull suggests - especially with that many circuits - is the PDM60 Power Distribution Module.
The nice thing about the PDM60 is that there are no fuses required - it is a collection of Solid State Switches (that means electronic Power Devices - MOSFETS - rather than relays) which are 'Smart', in that they detect over-current and protect themselves by switching the circuit off, as opposed to a Fuse blowing in a trouble situation. It's a programmable device that gives you control over each of the 6 channels as to whether they are constant power, or on with ignition and choice of one circuit with its own independent switch control. It also eliminates requirement to add relays if required to be controlled by ignition power or if a high current circuit is required (heated gear, auxiliary lights, air-horn etc)

There are also other simpler power distribution schemes available like Fuzeblock and Eastern Beaver's PC8 which essentially replicate what you have, with the fuses packaged into an auxiliary panel.
 
Will verify what I have tomorrow. Off the top of my head I have an auxiliary powerlet,for heated gear, battery tender, wired for charging my Chatterbox, and GPS.

Hope to add a McCruise. And??

Just to clarify - is that ',' meant to be there after powerlet?
i.e. are you saying "an auxiliary powerlet for heated gear"
or " an auxiliary powerlet AND (connection) for heated gear" (two separate fused connections)

Anyway, here is one way you can reduce the clutter and number of connections directly on the battery:

That will give you a charging port for your Chatterbox (not sure if your GPS uses the same?) directly off the Powerlet

Two-into-one adapters are available - http://www.powerlet.com/product/powerlet-straight-plug-to-two-sockets-y-cable/14



You could also connect your Battery Tender into the same Fused line as supplying that Powerlet - would think it rarely you would ever be simultaneously charging and drawing power from the Powerlet at same time?
You could get rid of that Battery Tender pigtail altogether by getting one of these - http://www.powerlet.com/product/powerlet-straight-plug-to-sae-battery-charging-cable/644



But if you want to keep the separate SAE pigtail rather than adding the adapter, just cut off the Fuse and connect it directly to the line after fuse from the Powerlet cable.

Here is how that looks electrically if you splice the BT & Powerlet Cables together




In the bottom half of the picture, shows how you can create a very simple Negative Buss adapter - just make up a short length of Black wire (12ga) with a 1/4" Ring terminal on each end;
then simply use an M6 (or 1/4") bolt to couple all your ground lugs onto the other end of it.
Then when disconnecting battery, you only have one terminal on there instead of a stack.

... Hope to add a McCruise....

McCruise picks up power off the Brake Switch connection.

Yes. I use the powerlet mounted in the available punch out site on the left side of the bike for my Gerbing.

Thanks for the suggestions.
 
My Key-less system is same for Touring as it is for the Roadster or Classic - exact same interfaces.
I just shipped a kit for a Touring Model earlier this week - at this time of writing is has not yet been installed.
