Thomas,
Eric's suggestion of the RLY-351 from All Electronics is a good one. If
you are looking for an equivalent number, that particular relay has a
Bosch part number of 332 209 203 for the SPDT unit and 332 019 110 for
an SPST version.
On my bike I used the Bosch micro relays which are about half the size
of the others mentioned above. They are part number 332 207 307 in SPDT
configuration and 332 017 303 in SPST. I have six of them neatly tucked
into my headlight shell, with room for two more. They can handle 20 amps
on the normally open contacts, and 10 amps on the normally closed, which
is plenty for nearly anything on the bike, other than the starter
solenoid and the horn. Of course, they are more money at about $7 each,
but I needed the space so they were worth every dime.
If you want a great catalog of automotive wiring stuff to browse through
and get lots of ideas, call Terminal Supply Co. at 800 989 0824. They
are not cheap, but they have virtually everything that you could
possibly want to wire a motorcycle.
