Accessory Power

Most bikes do not have a source of power for when the ignition is on like a car.  In a car you only have power while the car is "on" even if not running and it's super helpful for not killing your battery.



Other people have done this same mod in a similar way where they simply take power from the headlight (since it's a high-draw circuit already), but I don't want to mess up my new V-Star 1300 and decided to go directly from the battery and using the license plate light as my way to detect when the bike is "on".
