The 2K clear has really brought the tank with its brushed metal to life! Very nice!
Dog Bunny,
There are no adverse consequences to simply unplugging the self canceler and discarding it. The manual press to cancel on the turn signal switch will work just fine.
Your lucky day... I found this searching for something else...
Just need to wire in the new fuse block, put some connectors on for the rear lights, and bolt in the starter solenoid and the wiring is done. Looking pretty clean and tidy

I'm just going to mention that sometimes these replacement harnesses have a glitch or two in them. The one my buddy got from Mike's for his '80G Special II turns the headlight on with the key. It shouldn't do that. The headlight shouldn't come on until the motor starts and the headlight safety relay gets tripped. We've confirmed all the harness plugs have the wire colors in the right places so the "glitch" has to be somewhere in the harness under the wrapping. Switched power is getting fed directly to his hi/lo switch.
No, we never did trace the issue down. My buddy isn't too concerned with it because the bike operates and runs fine otherwise. I don't think he was even aware of the issue until I pointed it out to him, lol.
Yes, the headlight power should come from the headlight fuse to the headlight safety relay, usually on a red/yellow wire. From the relay, once it's tripped, it is fed to the RLU on the blue/black wire. Usually that blue/black wire also sends power to your gauge lights so it makes sense you don't have them. They wouldn't come on until the relay is tripped (by the motor cranking or running). I'm not sure why the brake light isn't working.

Looks great!! Nice job.
Why would the PO have cut the kickstand?? Then again, why am I surprised? LOL
Keep an eye on your license plate/bracket...you may find the vibrations bend that mount loose or even break it...I've had to reinforce my mount a couple of times due to vibrations.
