I got a little time this weekend to work on the bike - plus I finally got a motorcycle jack - so I moved forward a bit with my streetfighter/standard conversion. I had to drop the forks almost out of the triples to get my mounting brackets on, which was so much easier than I thought it would be. The jack solved that problem.
The headlight itself is an exact match to the factory harness plug, so I'm good there, I just need to get a new bulb since this one is burnt out. I quick-wired the signals and they work fine, although I need to get a time based relay to even things out.
I've got gauges off the same bike as the headlight and bucket, but I've got a bit of fabbing and rewiring to do before they're on and ready. I'm pretty stoked that things are coming together, though.
I also removed all the decals from the side and rear plastics, although the adhesive on some of it is a real B* to get off. One side was no problem but the other side is taking forever and the Goo Gone isn't really touching it. I may try some heat on it unless I find a better idea first. I got bored with scraping so I went to sanding some of it. Hopefully that won't take too much longer to pull together.
The light, installed but not fully wired yet (I still need to fine tune the direction of the lights, too):

The plastics in progress:
Some rims I was contemplating cleaning up and putting on the Ninja, but that'll be much later:
