Not to hijack, thanks for the link. I have a question and I'm sure it's a dumb one. If the positive is straight to the battery to the amp and the ground the same, where do you attach the blue remote, i know there's a remote place on the amp? How does that not cause a battery drain?

Im not sure on the 2017 there is an orange wire coming off the headlight plug that you can tap into for the remote. On a 2018 that wire has been eliminated but there is a blue wire out of the boom box for a power antenna that will work for the remote wire on the amp. That blue wire will not work in acc mode just ignition which I personally like as it forces you to have the bike running and not run the battery down while in acc mode. (yes I have done that before) BTW ever tried push starting a bagger? Its impossible.

Now I bet that was a site to see. A bunch of guys pushing a 800# sled to push start it. Dammit Kris I want to go bad but I have to work that weekend and working for the US government well they kinda want you there.

Cig lighter should work for remote turn on as well.
I didn't think you could push start any fuel injected bike. Without battery power the ECM won't turn on to send it's signals to the injectors, cam sensor etc?
