After a lot of shopping, measuring, and talking w/John at Wild 1, the 612's were decided on. Running wires was simple enough, but I had to use the DVOM and draw my own schematics. Terminals were $.50 each, and I needed 18 to do it. The clutch cable will have to be lengthened. My plan is to disconnect at the lever, route the cable as I normally would, then measure how much is still needed.
Also decided to upgrade the grips - Get a Grip - from the moco. These are sweet because the clutch side is captured like the throttle, so no gluing was necessary. Also very comfortable!
