On a 2000 LS650, the gray wire is the speedo back light (+). There isn't a (12+VDC) that goes to the OEM speedo, but you can certainly get (12+VDC) from the battery. As always, black with the white trace is the secondary ground and the one used for all of the indicator lights.
Thanks for the reply.
So I don't have a fender on the back of the bike, so I will need to toy with some other options. I am sure I can figure out something.
As for the wiring... Run a wire directly from the battery for the 12+v? Don't tap from anywhere else? And if running from the battery, is like 18g wire ok, or do I need something heavier?
Thank you for all of your help.
