Well, dont have one, but some thoughts on it.....
ONE, it looks like the extended width of the battery would prevent it from fitting in tight battery spaces.
TWO, some mentions of bad threads and missing holes.
THREE, would need a large non conductive protector to keep it from hitting on the metal battery box or anything else metal around the battery.
I wouldn't try it, easier to add a junction box somewhere else.

I have had relatively few motorcycles in my life and if memory is accurate, they all had very snug battery boxes with no room for anything like that. Harley even uses up the space on top of the battery for various connectors ECU mounting, antennas, and wiring. That looks like a reasonable solution in an area that has space, but in a confined area it is an invitation for a short to the frame, chaffing through insulation on nearby wires, and over stressing the battery terminals. I have thought about a terminal block SOMEWHERE but haven't figured out a good location on a Road King.

You can do the same with the negative leg as well.

Must admit I had unconsciously restricted my thinking to closer proximity to the battery, thanks.

Run a single heavy gauge positive wire up to the headlight housing under the gas tank. You can install a junction there in the headlight housing for multiple sub-feeds. There are a number of mounting points for a mounting bracket, but it can also be left free if the junction is insulated.
You can do the same with the negative leg as well.

Just remember VERY IMPORTANT make sure that any wire leaving the battery (non-stock) has a fuse as close to the terminal as possible. Fuse must be rated no more than cable you run.
Also once you do make a satallite power point again fuse all items leaving the power point and rate accordingly.
Don't want to burn bike down and or have insurance reject a fire claim (read a horrible story on a new bike that burned).
I have the AntiGravity lithium battery and it has posts on all 4 corners so 2 extra.

I happened to have seat and ECM carrier/battery hold down off of my 2022 Street Glide.
I don't think it would fit as the cover comes down over sides really closely.
Looking at some of the other replies, I think I would make a terminal block that I could mount under the left side cover and power by a suitable heavy gauge wire.
More work, but maybe cleaner/safer in the end.
Just my $ .02 ...
