Default Boom Audio, please help.

I had just purchased the BOOM AUDIO amplified handlebar mounted speaker system and related relay. I have a 1986 HD Softail fxst. According to the instructions I have to connect the orange/white wire on the relay to an orange/white wire on the bikes harness. My bike has no mix colored wires they are all solid colors. All other wires are connected correctly. Where would I connect the last remaining wire on the relay?

Is there a solid orange wire?

Lol.... Okay time to break out the service manual for your bike. It should tell you what wires are "switched" and or constant power wires for your specific bike and what color they are.

I installed one of them on an 07 Street Bob and if I recall correctly, the power came from the tail light wire. I thought that was kinda odd but it worked.
