For the negative lead where is the best place to locate it. Can I connect negative to battery and live in one of the fuses using the piggy bank holder.

What fuse is best to use for the live one.

Thanks

My -ve goes direct to battery, the fuse tap is using the headlight fuse...but anything which works only when the key is turned will work just as well.

I've gone -ve to battery and +ve to piggyback on ignition circuit (from memory it's the first nearside fuse). Chose that because of the high fuse rating. Not sure which is best though as the grips add potential for an extra 5A of current to be drawn.
