Where can I find a multi-terminal battery console?

I have a Yamaha FJR and the battery is tucked away and hard to access. I would like to install a remote multi-port unit under the seat for easier access. Any suggestions?

Update:

I have seen one before. It is a mountable plate with multiple terminals. One can several devices to it and it was right under the seat. It was basically connected directly to the battery terminals

    If you buy a smart charger, such as a "Battery Tender", it comes with a short wiring harness that attaches to the battery terminals and ends in a plug that the Tender plugs into. You can zip-tie it to a convenient location on the bike. I have done this with all of my bikes that I ride in any given season, so that they are easily kept ready to ride. The harness is also available as a separate part, so that--as in my case--one charger can maintain several bikes.

    Not sure exactly what you are looking for. If you are looking for an easy way to keep the battery charged, see the link below. The device comes with a quick disconnect so you can easily connect and disconnect the battery charger

    If all you are looking for is a 12 volt port to power accessories simply make one yourself. You can get everything you need from your local auto parts store. Get a universal 12 volt socket. Some wire heavy enough to supply power. Don't forget to add a fuse to the positive lead. Be reasonable when selecting the fuse. Solder and shrink wrap your connections.

    Would this link help? http://www.jcwhitney.com/battery-cables-and-termin...

    ~maybe some computer's browsing efforts can produce different web searches? I would personally try to find a local Yamaha dealer (or semi-local) & see what their quotes of retrofitting would be... =)

    Nice looking bike, btw! Looks like the police issue type.... ones that you would see motorcycle officers using on duty... =)
