Default 08 Road king stereo wiring question

Just finish up hooking a kenwood radio and polk speakers in a removable fairing on a 08 RK. Everything works great, question is the red wire needs to go on and off with the ignition(black is ground and yellow is constant to keep radio presets). what wire and where is it that i can run off of. I have the tank dash off so is there a wire i can tap off of there or in the headlight nacel? thanks in advance. Ed.

inside the headlamp nacelle is an orange/red or orange/white wire with a red rubber boot on it that is accessory. Use that..
