Default Hardwire Problem

Hello all I'm needing help i want to hard wire my satellite radio on my 010 tri-glide. instructions say to tap into a wire that is turned on by the ignition key any ideas? Is there a way to tap into the fuse block or tap into the radio power I just want to make it look nice and be functional

I remove the outer faring and took a 12 volt DC power outlet and wired it into the leads on the cigarette lighter.

there is a free wire laying right behind the headlamp (orange/white) taped up on the same headlamp harness that is an accessory wire. there is also a ground right there but I never recommend you use a factory ground instead ground to something solid and metal (fairing bracket would be a good ground)
