If you hook up to the battery, don't forget to put an inline fuse in the circuit. :)

I would suggest using a relay to power up any extras. Use the tail light circuit to trip a relay and that way the chance of leaving things on accidently is a big fat "0". You can still have an off/on switch and a fused line to the extras. I have 3 relays on the Vstrom for various items that are instant off when the key is turned off and the tail light circuit goes off. I also have a fused direct power point that is unswitched for use when needed.
