Find a good place on the bike to put your switch. You can either cut a hole in the fairing for it, as in the [[Installing a voltmeter|voltmeter article]], or just find an out-of-the-way place to secure it with zip ties. If this place is near metal, make sure your connections are well-insulated with (XXXXXX) .

You need a simple two-position switch; one way is on, the other off. Don't use a lighted switch, or you'll blow fuses. Since you're not truly switching power, but rather providing continuity (aka ‘juice’) between two hot wires, you don't want a ground wire (which is needed to make the light work). The stock flasher works fine for this. Increasing the load doesn't affect the flash rate.
