Wiring question
I've got several accessories wired to the battery on my 2013 EGlide, plugs for heated gear, battery tender etc. etc. I'd kinda like to clean up all the wires so there are only two wires connected to each terminal, the pos cable and one wire feeding all accessories and the neg cable and one wire going to all accessories. In principle it would be like the splitter you plug into an outlet in your home that allows multiple appliances to run off of the one plug-in. Is there anything like that on the market or is it a do-it-yourself project?

Search Amazon for bus bar, junction block, terminal strip, fuse block, power distribution module, etc. There's hundreds of ways to skin that cat but yeah it's pretty much DIY using off the shelf components.

I also agree on the bus bar or similar item.
There is another option if you don't want to mess with the battery. Connect the bus bar on a 4-wire deutsch plug and plug into the ACC plug under your seat. It's a switched plug so one wire is the ground. The other there are IGN/ACC, ACC switch, and brake light circuit. You can connect the pos wire to the IGN/ACC so the ignition or ACC switch turns it on, or the ACC switch only. I have a couple of accessories on my '13 King and this is how I use the ACC plug.

I dont have a pic but i mounted pos block to one side of the frame and the neg block to the other side in the battery area. Works great.
