Has anyone wired driving lights for their 1700? If so, how did you run the wiring from the battery, under the tank, then to the lights?

Battery to a fuse & relay in the RH side cover. Power & control(relay) wiring under the tank to the Aux. lights.

I wired mine similarly, but the aux connector is under the seat. Only wires I had to run under the tank was the power to the lights.

Where did you ground the lights?
And where did you get the relay control wiring from?

12V automotive relays work fine. Here's the schematic of how I wired the high beams. It will be a bit different from yours as I installed a HID headlamp which stays on for both low and high beams. My driving lghts on the crash bars are on high beam only.
