Default Adding auxiliary power block

2022 Tri Glide ultra

So first, I'd like to find a spot with some room for a small auxiliary power/fuse block. There doesn't seem to be much room under either cover.
Looking at something like this, https://amzn.to/43yKO2F

Secondly, I'm thinking to run directly off the battery for power, but use a relay to keep the power switched. Does this sound like the best approach?
I'd need a bit of switched power for the relay, and don't want to pull this from the accessory plug.
It's a cam-bus, so can't come off the power switch, and that's clear up in front of the tank anyway.

Am I on the right track here?

Heated gear and charging port, and a couple of lights, are the current wiring projects. Nothing major.
Seems to me there was something else in the to-do list but it's not coming to me at this moment...

You can power a charging port from one of the extra power connectors in the fairing.

I run heated gear wire direct from battery, it`s a short run.

Keep It Simple. Plug the heated gloves into the battery charging pigtail.
