I have an Abba Stand so not really an issue. The Abba stand, btw barely lifts the RE height-wise. I put it on some wood to get a little more clearance.

Grips, Carpuride and spots all run into this, the trigger wire is attached to the aux socket at the rear so they all switch on and off with the ignition. Think it's 20 amp max. Appropriate fuses fitted. The grips remember which setting they were on when switched off btw.
