Default Heated Grips

I've got a 2005 Sportster, Roadster 1200. And I am installing Show Chrome heated Grips.
The standard install kit comes with leads that are meant to go directly to the battery(or other power source), and that lead is fused with a 5 Amp fuse.

I want to install a small relay inline with that power(plus) lead, so that I can't accidently leave the heated grips on when I shut the bike off.

Anyone have an idea exactly where I need to wire this relay into??

Any help would be mucho appreciated, as soon as possible..

Triple thanks in advance!

Randy

Are they HD grips or aftermarket? My HD grips have a 4 amp fuse. I would have to pull the seat to tell exactly where it got wired to, I think the main breaker or something similar in order for it to be off when the key is off.
