Ok so I have been looking at the schematic for a long time and keep procrastinating on this.
I have installed an AMP under the fairing to drive the speakers front and rear.  It is triggered off of the switched power on the bike so its on when the bike is on and off when its off.

HOWEVER

I can no longer listen to the radio with the bike OFF (in the ACC position) because there is no trigger power from the ignition to power the AMP.

My question is where is the connector located that provides the power from the ACC circuit on the ignition? 
The schematic looks like its just behind the Ignition switch but I have not dug into it yet.  can anyone identify it?

PS No I am not looking for the accessory plug behind the right side panel.  I am already using that and it is not on the ACC circuit.

Look in Das Boot which houses the ignition switch to main harness connector along with the fuel level sender connector.

It's behind the right side cover.

I forget exactly, but think it's a single male and female bullet connector.
