Quick update on the conversion. Saturday night I did battle with hordes of mosquitoes and removed the airbox and a few wires and cables that were no longer needed. Then I gave the dust a few licks with a rag to have a look at the instrument cluster and determine if I could integrate some gauges into the existing framework.

I'm pretty sure I can stealth install a volt meter into the fuel gauge. Since the Tach will be useless I think I'll install an amp meter under the glass with card stock over top of it to hide what should be hid. I'm going to use my neutral indicator (green light) as an 'on' light. Not much to attach to the fuel tank except the charging jack so far. I'll add pics tomorrow, it's crazy late right now and I really should be in bed.
