Default Tapping Wire for Ignition Power

On a '15 RGS, where is a good place (under the seat) to tap for ignition power? What color wire should I look for? I'm using a Posi-tap and don't want to connect wire directly to the battery positive terminal. BTW, I own an electrical manual but lend it out and don't have it in hand right now. It's Thanks in advance guys.

On my 2011 FLHR, I used the wire heading back to my rear signals. Look just behind your battery for the plug and find the orange wire with white stripe, that is/should be a switched power wire. I then used the bolt that holds the ECM tray down for a ground. Hope this helps....

Thanks hammerhead, I was able to locate it with the help of the manual. On my 2015, it's a red & yellow wire on a capped off grey plug behind the left side panel.
