Adding a Led Circuit

Can anyone suggest a switch to add to the superhawk for adding in some LED's? Also a circuit adding device so i don't pull off another circuit, and one more question any good ideas on where to mount the switch?

I use this for my leds. SPST High-Current Mini Toggle Switch : Toggle Switches | RadioShack.com. I run it direct from the battery and I mounted the switch in the left upper fairing bracket just above the radiator, with the toggle pionting down. It is out of sight, but easy to reach. It is not a sealed switch but I ride in the rain, wash the bike and have not had any problems in the four years I have had it on the bike.

Like in the upper front corner of the radiator vent? I will check it out and see i want to add some led's under the rear section and in the radiator sections. Should be a easy mod. I just want it to turn off when the bike was off so that's why i was going to jumper off of a switched power source.

Called a "relay". Will draw minimal power from one signal to switch on a power circuit. Although it's debatable that LED power draw will need this, depending on how many you have and where you splice in.

I'd personally splice it into the 3rd eye running light or one of the non essential wires coming from the fuse box. Others may know better for this part.
