Default Need wiring help

I'm hard wiring my external satellite radio on my 17 RGU. Currently (no pun intended) I have it running straight to the battery. This put a a constant draw on the battery (same set up on my Softail did the same thing, it the power supply). I'd like to run this through the switch so when the bike is off the power supply is off and does not draw on the system.

Can anyone provide a guide for dummies on where and how to wire this into the switch without creating issues in my electrical system?

If you use the HD electrical connection update kit #69201599 $28.95 it has a switched power lead that will solve your problem.
