My bad one was right near the air filter access.
I looked through my photos and I don't have any of that side, but I found these two in some A&R Hid Install instructions.
I think the first one is the one Cliff is referring to??
Cliff, please jump in here if I'm giving bad info!
I'm going to look through the shop manual and see if there are any location photos for these things in the appendix. I should be back tomorrow with that. (Probably too late to help, sorry.)

This second one is further forward over the radiator.

Since we very, very rarely hear about issues stemming from these things, I would guess they are probably only a point of failure in cases where the harnesses were physically disturbed (accident, moved or damaged during repairs or modifications, cut open for splicing, rubbed by parts that were not supposed to touch them, etc).
I began to look into these blocks. I was hoping to find at least one that showed some crud like the photo below that Cliff posted. But no, so far they look clean when I removed the e-tape and opened them. I will be spending the rest of the week tearing the bike down and removing the fuel tank as time permits.
I found three of the Black/White connectors near the air filter and four more near the KIPASS ECU. They're broken out nicely so I didn't have to dig into the harness. Just removed a couple wraps of electrical tape. Two of the connectors near the ECU have blue wires so I'm gonna leave them alone until I find out what they do.
I ran out of time, daylight, and Give-A-Crap so this weekend troubleshooting is done.

Yes, the ABS unit is under the tank, under a cover. Putting your hands on probably won't reveal much. There is one large harness connector and the diagnostic connectors are located under the seat, just behind item 15 in Marty's pic. I take it you haven't cleared the stored codes as mentioned earlier and identified current active codes - or have you?

Can it be true? I don't need load resistors with this fancy new relay? Please tell me I don't need to splice anything. After what I've been through I'm afraid to go near any wires.
p.s. I've seen LED's out there on the U-tube that don't use separate load resistors. It's about time they figured that one out!
