And about the head light ...
I was aware of this. So, my solution is that I'm going to put a on/off switch (somewhere hidden), when ignition is turned on, the light is off. After starting the engine, I'd turn on the light. What do you think?

I used to roll that way on my ATV, I still forgot to kill power to the lights before restarting at times.  In hindsight, I should have added a relay with normally closed contacts (coil voltage picked up off of the starter button signal) to cut power to the lights for me.  Not sure on the older monsters, but the new monsters already have this function (cutting headlight power when starting), if yours already does this then you probably don't need to worry about it.

So, here is how I mounted mine, in the end.
Using RAM mount, V-1 is on the left hand side of the handle bar (right above the clutch reservoir), remote audio control and concealed display are mounted inside of the fairing.


The power was taken from license lamp ( I lost it last summer, so it was unused. Here's what happened to my license plate and light

V-1's direct wiring kit.
