Default light bolt wiring?
Everyone who mounted a side mount plate. I was wondering which wire you tapped into for the license lamp? I have an 08 train. Also I was thinking of putting a bolt throuhg the hole where me upper belt guard was attached and using an eye connector for the ground. Any ideas?

I made a little harness and shrink wrapped it. Ran the harness up the swingarm and grounded under the seat. Shrink wrap and small black cable ties makes for a sano job. If you cut the wires to the plug (leave enough in case you want to re-solder it) and pull the stock harness up from under the fender and through that plastic access panel you can tap into it there. You can tap the license plate light from the taillight.
