Fuse box replacement

So earlier this week I purchased one of these fuse boxes:

Just got it in today and went ahead and wired it up:

Overall I am very happy with it. It's nice to have fresh, clean contacts and the peace of mind that goes with it. Also, modern blade style fuses are great. I actually tried to find a box that took the smaller blade fuses but it turned out to be a non-issue. As you can see, even with additional options for circuits, the new box is almost spot on for size for the old one. In the photo, I built the jumper wire to connect all 6 connections on the left side just in case. Now that I have test run the bike with the box in place I will remove the bottom two positions to free up space to run 2 fused accessories (I have a 12 volt power socket/usb port ready to go). Just thought I'd share.
 
I get the feeling you have a lot of wire running to the ignition switch that is unfused. How about the r/r is that included in the unfused list?
 
The ignition feed is fused. It has an inline 15a right now. The regulator is tied into the red to ignition/battery as per your "T" method.
 
Hmm Pos after reading what you said I was curious as to why so I got to looking at the wiring diagram. I see what you meant about it being unfused if not for the inline that is installed. I'll probably go back out later tonight when I get some more time and wire it per the diagram with the red feed to the ignition going to 15a up top then to the ignition. Then I'll take the orange from the ignition and move it over to the inlet side of the box. Thanks for calling it to my attention.

And the output of the 15A fuse ties to the R/R(+) before going to the ignition switch on RED (returning with ORANGE).
 
Okay let's try this again.

Wired properly now. Battery to 15a fuse to ignition (joining with regulator) back to fuse box on orange feeding out to lights, signals, and ignition.
 
I had been contemplating the Eastern Beaver PC-8 but they are $55 which I get the idea you get what you pay for but yikes. This box is $9 and should serve me well for awhile at least.
