Thanks for the welcome. Basically all of my original parts from the wreck walked off when I moved, including the harness. So I’m starting from scratch. I have all Motogadget goodies, all the wire I need, and weatherpack connectors. So just a really simple custom harness.

I’ve wired a lot of vehicles in my day, I actually love doing it. To answer your question, I have not technically started yet lol.

You should document how you mount up the fairing. not enough pics online of how to do that with out of the box parts.

I will definitely be thorough, However I believe the kit to be complete. Including the frame for mounting. I expect just minor modifications. I ordered mine without a headlight opening, and matte finish.

Yeah I kind of fell in love. Really the finishing touch on my bike I think. Two versions  available, small and a large. I obviously got the larger of the two.

If you've never used the motogadget button switches, you may "try" out with gloved hands.  I've heard more than a few people complain about their small size and feel (you don't want to have to fumble around for a button or have to look down).  Motone makes larger switches as to a few other vendors -- if you think they are too small.

The input is always appreciated. I really never gave that much thought. Ive never used them, I’ll put a glove on later and have a feel.

Well thanks to BenelliSEI, I have a proper race oil tank, and cooler kit from his Rickman project. The cap location should line up with my seat perfectly! I’m trying to figure out shipping for his engine, I want it!

Canada to Los Angeles, expensive!

I'll second that...
About a year ago I built a bike for a customer, and he chose those same Motogadget switches.  They were "ok" bare handed but not so much with even thin gloves.

After taking the advice of the members above, I mounted the switch. I then pulled out my thickest gauntlet leather glove. Like most things on a motorcycle, it comes down to personal feel, and taste. For me, these are perfect. I can feel the contours through the glove, and actuate the switch perfectly!

Some pics.
