Constant power wire

So I am installing an aftermarket dash. I need a constant 12 wire behind the dash cuz it has a clock I want to work.

Is there any constant power wires behind my 98 dash I can tap into?

Yes I can test em all but maybe someone knows

If you disable the rev limiter, you can redline it at 13,000 rpm. once.

Per the wiring diagram in the back of the factory service manual, there should be a red wire with a green trace going to the odometer on a any 98-00 bike. Same for all other years except it also power the clock after 2000. This is a fused wire .

The red wire going to your ignition switch is also hot except direct to batt +, no fuse.
