Thanks Papa Geno, I knew it had to be easy, I just didn't know where the relay was, and sometimes wiring can confuse me. Thanks for the easy step by step, I will have to go get a switch now. I guess the last issue is where to mount the switch.

I did use a test light to make sure that wire was the one.

I mounted a cheap 2 dollar silver toggle switch from walmart. I have it basically right to the left of the speedo. I figured that is an easy place for me to just hit it.

I am going to pick up a different toggle though, this one is extremely hard to switch on and off and I dont want to stress the plastic. Its a heavy duty switch and you dont need a heavy duty switch for this, only a few milliamps are going through the thing LOL!

I would have used one of those 3 pole switches but I have no idea how to make them light up with the third pole.

Yeah thats a nice switch. I'm just gonna get a black plastic duckbill style one from Autozone later this week. I'll put it in when I am doing the performance mods this weekend. :)
 
Check digikey out as well... nice selection and they've tuned in more for hobbyist lately, so you can order one-two pieces without any issues...


used to be distributor only but not anymore (even then, since I work in electronic manufacturing... was never a big deal for me)

and if you're just turning on the relay, really should need more than 100mA switch to hit the coil, I wouldn't get a 35A switch for that, it's gonna be huge.
 
The black plastic inner fairing panel on the left side, in front of your knee, below your hand is a good place for a toggle. Easy to reach, flat surface and its on the clutch side so you can use it while riding. That's where I mounted my map switch.
Make sure you use a toggle that's easy to use with gloves on.
 
Here is the switch that I ended up using. I kind of screwed myself. I had used a small cheap toggle switch, and I put it too close to the downward part of the slope on that fairing part. So now using this big one, I have to have it crooked otherwise the flat thing around the switch kinda hangs off a little as the thing starts sloping downwards. Kind of hard to explain.

However I hit the switch at an angle so I don't care. Plus the new one blends in a ton better so it does not bother me.

It was somewhere around the .750" area. I had to use my dremel to make the hole. Was a PITA.

Had to do it that way for my 12v socket as well.
