Seems like wiring it to make the neutral light come on would be the easy way. IF I remember all the stuff I looked at when i was in there.

Forgot to update on this.. but it's not much of an update.
The loud "ticking" noise IS the muffler, and not the tensioner, and that is the good thing. So, I rode the weekend.
I'm not sure where in the muffler (Sportster) that noise is coming from (or if I should care). I'll check into it when I pull the exhaust.
VerSlagen tensioner is in, Clymers is in, got the tools I'll need. Waiting on gasket (just in case) before I do the tensioner, spark plug, access door, valves, speedo buzz, etc.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Ticking noises from exhaust system is one of the signs of an exhaust leak. Lots of people redo their valves and get flustrated when the noise doesn't go away.
