Default Tach started to go wack

Alright so hopefully someone can help me. As I have stated many times before, I have a 97' 600F3. Today on my way home, I was watching my rpm tach and out of nowhere it started acting crazy. Whenever I was accelerating the tach was jumping very violently from 5-9k. Whenever I pulled in my clutch or was not giving it any gas it was fine. Suddenly it just stopped working and went down to 0rpm while I was on the freeway. I just thought whatever I need a knew rpm tach no big deal, then my speedo started doing the same thing. It never stopped working completely like my rpm tach did but I noticed my tach lights starting to dim. When I got home, I put it in neutral and opened my garage door. When I got back on my bike, I put it in first and went to let the clutch out...bike died. Went to turn it back on and it wouldn't crank over...the tach lights slowly started coming back on but not enough juice to turn it over so I just pushed it in. Any idea's? The only aftermarket parts on the bike are different mirrors with integrated turn signals (possibly the wiring draining the battery???) but that wouldn't account for the tach going bat**** crazy, and a slip-on exhaust. Would greatly appreciate some advice as I am going to a car show next weekend and its 1.5 hours away from my house...im the only bike going up couple people with 1000hp+cars and I do not want to end up leaving my bike on the side of the road for some jag to throw in his truck and say deuces....Thanks in advanced everyone here has been very helpful so far
