I did some searching around the forums earlier, and got mixed results, and with no definitive answer. If I ever get around to it, I'll update everyone on what I'm doing, I have all the wiring diagrams for all the 750 model katana's around the world, euro spec bikes have a light switch, so I'm going to look into integrating one of my own

A simple on/off headlights switch shouldn't be an issue. I have been running one on my bike for the past month or so.
As for the ground, it ties into the harness right under the tank. There are a few things in that area that tie in at the same spot, although I can't remember them. Once you open the harness you will see everything, just don't put the switch where it kills the ground to anything other than the light.

If you splice the switch in right by the headlight plug, before the wire joins to anything else you'll be fine. The big issue is to find a way to make sure you're not riding without the headlight; to dummy-proof the thing. Maybe go with a lighted switch?

I only run the headlights on my car when its dusk/dark....why run my bike lights at noon (YES, I realize it is federally mandated...it's also "illegal" to go 1mph over the speed limit...sooo..)?
