relay wiring

I know we went over this a couple of weeks ago but, I am asking now
because my Hot Grips came in the mail yesterday. I am not looking for how
to wire a relay but where to put it and where to get the power from the key
so the grips aren't on when the key is off. Can we use the famous "euro
light" leads up front for the relay? What size relay have others used?
I have no access to the web right now and have been switched to Lotus Notes
from MS Outlook. : (

Mike, I got a 30 amp relay from AutoZone, I'm sure other part stores
will have them. They are usually found by the fog and driving lights
and cost about $4.00.
I mounted mine on the rear fender under the seat. I took switch power
from the tail light and ran the ground wire straight to the battery.
Of course the positive supply wire came straight off the battery.

i used a 30amp automotive relay from radio shack, and i wired the switch
connection to the euro light lead. been using it for about 2 weeks now.
seems to work great. i put the relay, and the switch for my heating elements
in a little plastic circuit board box (about 1 1/2 x 2 x 3) and stuck it to
the back side of the speedo panel with double-stick tape. on the
enduro-engineering heaters, i spliced in extra wire in various places to put
things where i wanted them.

Thanks. One more question. Would 12 gauge wire be sufficient or too heavy
for the Hot Grips and a 4 amp fuse?

I think I used 12gauge. It was just some wire I had around in the
garage. I put a 10 amp inline fuse on it.
