you can go straight to the bat. If you want switched power i would go to the running light in the front. Make sure you at least put an inline fuse in the power outlet/.

Aux Pwr Supply (APS)

Depends on amperage demand (given 12v) and need for ign sw slave. For more than 3a, go direct to bat w/inline fuse close. If ign sw reqd use relay and 2nd inline fuse to outlet. Inline fuse n/reqd from ign to relay.
Outlet depends on use; ie std cig liter female receptor. For multiple circuits a gang conn block or fuse panel can be mouted near bat. I've added 8 circuits this way. For low amp besides center marker light a gage lite tap is easy up front and is not pulled when fairing is removed. I probably have 6 relays scatterd stem to stern.
