On each bike I always run the harness from the battery out from under the left front edge of the seat. In use the positive wire from the controller runs across my upper left thigh. I clip the controller to the lower left side of my chest where I can adjust it with either hand without looking. If the jacket doesn't have a way to clip it on I sew on a small piece of 1" webbing. Some riders like to install the controller on the bike up front somewhere but the wires back to the jacket require lengthening.
There is no need to remove any fairing parts or drill holes for this install. On the NC I led the Gerbings wire harness from the battery out of the opening in lower left side of the frunk then back along the tubular frame rail then up the back side of the frunk between the gas tank and the frunk. Then underneath or beside the cross member that supports the front of the seat. I can't recall exactly. A zip tie or three keeps the harness out of view and the female Gerbings connector inside my left thigh when seated. In the warm months I tuck the connector back under the seat out of sight. I suggest never running wires across Honda paint. The clear coat mars very easily but the side panel under the seat on my 2012 and 2015 is paintless matte black.
