I used the wire that was going to the stock tag light on the back of the bike. Hope this helps.

I got the power by wedging the wire into the tail light pin on the connector under the seat that runs under the fender. I ran the ground wire to negative terminal on the battery. I shrink wrapped the wires and ran them behind the swingarm.
