Power is sent to the fuse box only when the key is on. To trip the relay. The engine dose not need to be running but is a good idea to. If you do not like that idea gust skip the relay and wire to the fuse box to the battery.
I put the fuse box in the area under the seat in the little space storage area cuts down tool storage area but keeps it neat. But it can go any dry place.
It was bit more work but I like the result. I also put in a cigar lighter that has cap on it under the seat for my air pump wired to the fuse box. I will put in powerlets on the left side of the bike for my heated jacket, GPS and some water proof switches for some lights. I may also set up a water tight charging set up on the back.
