Do you have to manually switch the converter on when you want to use it or does it have a sleep mode that would allow it to stay connected to the pack?

Get a converter that has a remote on/off wire that connects to the keyswitch. It stays connected to the pack all the time, but is only on when the key is on.

If so desired, add switches to turn the 12V to individual accessories on/off as needed.

This is the one I have. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/DC_Reducer.html

They recently changed the law in Michigan so you may have another option.
They now allow each county and municipality to decide whether to allow ORVs
to operate on side roads or city streets without a license plate.
Before this only applied to counties in the Northen half of the LP and all of the UP.

If you plan to operate under this law you only need head and tailights.
You do not need horn, mirror, safety windshield or to meet a minimum speed.
