Good write up Les.
Fitment to the K8 is identical except there is no aux power plug on the left like there is on the Gen 1.
I ran a wire from the positive on the battery to a relay as you did and then tapped into the earth on the headlight loom. This allows the grips
to turn off when you kill the ignition.
Made an alloy plate and fitted the controller here next to the GPS, I have recently remade the plate so that I could mount the display for the wideband next to it.
While it was all apart I fitted an accessory power outlet to the inner fairing panel on the left run from the same relay, this allows me to charge phone/GPS and IPOD on the move.
It's a bit crowded under the fairing on my K8 as there are also 4 ignitors hidden in there, one each for the HID high and low beams and one each for the HID driving lights.
