Depends -- have you disabled the fan & fan controller yet? If so, the hot power lead to the thermal pack for the fan controller (front right of the engine, just outside the frame) has a great hot lead to tap off of that is ignition controlled. The negative wire really should be wired all the way back to the negative post on the battery.
Alternatively, I sell 6-gang fuseboxes for adding accessories, and have a sepcial bracket available (well, most days -- out of stock right now) that places it directly above the battery, nestling the existing bracket perfectly.

The orange/white checked out above 12v so I ended up using that one. Before I mounted the gauge, I checked everything out and it was working but when I mounted it in, I wasn't getting any juice to the orange/white lead. I was like wtf?? lol I rechecked the connectors and I traced the wires down and checked the fuses and everything checked out ok so I was completely mind boggled...
Well, I realized when having the key turned in the "on" position and having the bike in gear, cuts the juice off to the orange/white lead.. If it's in neutral, the gauge works w/ the key "on" and the gauge does works properly when the bike is running..^_^
