Good Opportunity
Somebody with some gumption could build a nice side business creating a proper motorcycle solution.
Last year for kicks I designed and built a tiny fuse box which had 4 switched and 2 "always on" (for alarm etc) fused connections. Looked real nice, even had silkscreened PCB boards created for them. They worked really well on my 1200gs and my wife's 650gs, but we've since gotten rid of the bikes.
The main problems with the current offerings are:
1) Many of us need a mixture of "always on" and switched connections.
2) Existing solutions are usually built too large, not having motorcycles in mind. This was the primary reason I originally created my own.
3) Most existing solutions aren't water resistant, a must on a bike.
4) Most don't have a common ground lug connector; necessary to create a clean connection and keep the wire harness clean.
I figured the cost, including a custom water-resistant injection-molded housing would be about $12.00.
Feel free to buy me a  if you get rich off of this idea
