82 GS650GL-Fuse box upgrade

I'm in the process of cleaning my electrical connention and I would like to switch to a blade type fuse box. I also intend to run a line from the battery, with a 30amp blade and Bosch relay, to the coils. This appears to be a very common upgrade. Any thoughts? Also, there are several upgrade boxes out there. Easternbeaver has a PC-8, however that is a little more than I want to spend (mybe I'm to cheap). Wiringproducts.com has a AF-RGFB6; a 6 position ganged fuse block has an integrated 8 gauge power wire with a 3/8" ring terminal that feeds 6 seperate fuses ($23.16). This looks like to would work replace my glass fuse box (82 GS650GL). http://www.wiringproducts.com/contents/en-us/d136.html

I'm sure someone has done this. I'm don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks in advance
 
First thing I did to mine. I HATE glass fuses with a passion. I went to Advance and bought the ATC fuse box and bolted it to the battery box. Just look into the back of the old fuse holder to see which wire is the supply.
 
If you are going to get one that is not sealed, be sure and hide it where the sun don't shine and the rain can't reach. Under the seat would be a good location.
 
That WP one looks nice and not too expensive.

If you have any cycle graveyards nearby, a fusebox from a later model Suzuki might make a nice upgrade, and is probably already mostly labeled correctly.

But it wouldn't save all that much money, if any.
