What you are trying to do requires a relay to provide a power source when the ignition switch is turned off and also a seperate on/off switch to manually control the power source you require. If you need assistance to wire the relay etc. then please provide a complete description of what exactly you are trying to accomplish .

Ironwright, sorry i didn't get back to you right away but i haven't been on my computer till now. Here is a link that will give you a good understanding of how a relay works. In your case you will need the Normally Closed relay so it will turn the power on to your new electrical item when the bike is shut off (the ignition is turned off) and turn the new item off when the bike is started (or the ignition is turned on). Hope this helps.
