The best way would be to add a relay to power up your accessories off the battery, so not to over load any one wire in the electrical system.

Then switch the relay with your Key, If my memory serves me ( don't count on it ) I think the red with white stripe is switched 12 volts might be brown can't remember.

But test with test light or volt meter to find a switched 12 volt source.

Purchased a Painless Wiring fuse panel from Summit Racing and installed it on frame right above clutch guard comes with relay that activates three circuits with ignition and has three circuits with constant 12 volts. Gives you six independant circuits from sleds wiring harness, You run a 12 volt positive from battery to panel and ground panel to frame. Relay is powered from sleds fuse panel. I am running my Innovate gauge , face shield all power to boost gauge, parker knock box and digital water temp gauge ,. Gerbings heated clothing and led lights. It is working great.
Part # is PRF70207 price is 59.95

Familyman,
The fuse block comes with more than enough coded wire than you need.
I fed the relay from the 3 amp fuse in the stock fuse block and it seems to work well.
