    Run them off a relay direct from the battery, or through a fuse box if you have one. I wouldn't run power to them except through a relay.

    Yes, The relay is suppose to go direct to the battery, but there is a another wire that is suppose to go to a switched lead as well. That is my question. Not whether to wire direct to the battery with a relay or not. The lights are supplied with a nice relay.

    Cheers

    I use the tail light wire for my switched power. If I didn't want to go all the way back there, then I would pull the fairing off the side and go hunting for a switched hot. Sorry, but I don't know of one.

    Yea, I think the tail light is probably a good one, or the headlight.
