I live in the Oregon mountains and ride very dark two lane roads with animals constantly wanting to play chicken. I've decided to add some driving lights on the engine guard to light up the sides of the road better. These are 50 watts lights (each) which I believe will add about 8 amps to a circuit. Where can I safely tie in these lights so that they are not hot unless the key is on. If I run a seperate switched circuit from the battery, I'm sure I will be coming back to a dead battery as I'll forget to turn them off if I use them for daytime running lights too. I thought about tapping into the ignition circuit with a seperate switch, so once the bike is started, I can turn on the lights and when I turn off the key, the lights go off.
Thanks for any suggestions. Sure do love this forum !
