Default Battery post distribution

Does anyone know where to get a distribution block like this that will fit on the Harley screw type battery posts?

That is a pretty tight spot on most motorcycles.

You might consider a distribution block that mounts somewhere else, or even connect the components to the starter cable terminal.

I`ve never seen a distribution block like the one you referenced that would work on our type battery terminals.

Interested in what you are connecting.

Thanks for the response. I'm looking to add a 4 gauge wire for an amp to the positive and negative battery posts. This option obviously won't work. I'm going to rework my question in another post.

​​​​​i use crimped on eyelets at the battery for the 4 gauge positive and negative leads. Then I run the wire under the gas tank up into the fairing to a distribution block and split off with 8 gauge to each of my amps from there.

It's got to be big audio for 4 gauge? That is a nice unit though.

Especially if you are running two 4 gauge cables. But I guess it starts to make sense with amps in the fairing, plus amps in the tour pack or bags. I would guess that also means multiple batteries are probably in play as well.
That is way above my pay grade, lol. ​​​​I'm just a simple 8 speaker 3 amp kind of guy.
