I am planning to install a GPS and found a spare wire in the harness (red connector with a black cap) next to the battery but not sure where I could get the connector for it or if someone has a idea where I could tap power for the GPS

I believe that may be reserved for the heated grips sub harness.

Its not the diag. connector (DLC). That one has 4 wires and is behind the left side panel.

Looking at the cable layout drawing shows there are 2 option connectors. One is in the headlight shell and the other is by the battery in a connector boot.

The connectors are labeled in the book as "OPTION 2P (Red) CONNECTOR.

Hope that helps!

I am not by my manual, but I believe that is the color scheme. Its the only unused connector in there and has a cap or plug or whatever for protection. I'll check the diagram when I get home.

Ok, thanks. I'm having trouble getting the red cap off to take a voltage reading. 3 little dimples apparently need to be depressed to remove cap.
