Yup. That's what is appropriate, IMHO. Can save you a lot of trouble.
I did this when rebuilding my 2nd Twin. I take teh curent straight 
from the battery, through a 10A Fuse and into the relais which now sits 
behind the right headlight.

German Spec ATs used to have two relais since as far back as 1993, AFAIK.
Regardless of the fact that there was only one beam active at Lo-Beam.
So RD07s should be safe there. Rd04s need that second relais.
