Default Electrical question

I am almost finished the wiring on my Dyna project......I have one question regarding the 30 amp breaker...
To this 30 amp breaker I need to run 1) the rectifier 2) the key switch and 3) the starter relay
Running three wires to one post seems a lot.......???

Thanks,

It would seem that to start the bike you would want power through the key switch to the starter relay. The question is , is the rectifier providing that current. The 30 amp rating is for the starter. Three wires are not a lot if this is the starter system. I am guessing.

The key switch initiates the ignition system, it feeds the on/off switch and the start button which activates the starter relay. I am wondering if I can run the rectifier from another breaker to neaten things up

Yeah Train, three is definately no good.

I put a wiring diagram in my gallery for you, if you are interested.

Seems pretty simple really.

Click the gallery pic to enlarge, then repeat the click to enlarge again.
