Default Arnott air ride wiring...

Evenin folks, I'm in the process of installing arnott aldan shocks on the road king. Opinions on whether or not air ride is a good thing or not aside, I have a couple questions maybe folks that are running it could help me out with... the instructions included are crap, and so is their stupid installation video.

My questions concern the wiring and the air block. First, did you guys mount your air blocks anywhere? From the instructions, it seems as though they're saying to just stick it in the recess behind the gas tank under the seat? Second, there are no instruction at all... like, none, on how to wire everything, anybody have a simple schematic they could share? (this is on a 2000 road king) and finally, what are the 2 black wires coming from the little black box on the air block for?

I do realize these may be dumb questions, so feel free to tell me I'm dumb if you must, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There are downloadable instructions on the Arnott website. I have also found them to be very helpful when I've contacted them via phone. Good luck!
