Re: Power tap location
I had a server power cable that I used to wire my fuseblock. Very convenient since all three wires are in there, just run the whole thing to the front. I tapped the relay wire to the headlight and didn't realize that unlike other bikes, when you switch on the high beams, the lows go off. Doh! It's still like that and I'm just used to tapping the cancel button on the GPS when it wants to turn off as I use the high beams. Been like that for something like 75K miles now.

Re: Power tap location
Yup, a better idea, I already had the wire running to the front. One of these days I'll switch it out.

Re: Power tap location
Glove box solenoid or auxiliary socket?
LED tail lights may not have 12 V for standard relay??

Re: Power tap location
You can use a fuse tap in the Hazard fuse spot.... that holder is outside of the main fuse boxes....
You may be able to tie in to the licence plate light..... same as previous gen, two bullet connectors, blue is positive. Should be aft of the air cleaner, similar to previous gens.
