the red wire going to your ignition switch is the power feed. You could put a toggle in that wire anywhere between the switch and the fuse panel and it would work. This has been on my mod list for a while just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm going to use a small black push switch and hide it somewhere on the bike.

The hardest part is finding a spot for the switch. I have all the stuff and wired it up but really couldn't decide where to put the switch.
