Grip Heaters with Distribution Block

I've added Grip Heaters to my SV. My local dealer ordered the Symtec Motorcycle Grip Heaters with Rocker Switch from one of his suppliers. I picked up the rest of the parts at Radio Shack. They include an Auto Relay, 4-Position Dual-Row Barrier Strip, 8-Position Jumper Strip and Heavy-Duty Inline Fuse Holder. I used some wire that i had laying around from previous projects.

I used the instructions found here, but arranged the block a little different than pictured on that page. My Positive terminals are on one end of the block with the Negatives on the opposite end -- instead of using each side for Plus & Minus. I tapped the license plate hot lead to power the relay. I stripped the lead just behind the plug, soldered the relay wire and used heat shrink to seal-the-deal.

Pictures can be found here. (sorry for the poor quality, but it's been raining for three days here!)
