1. clamp it down and put electrical tape around it, or go to radio shack and buy connectors for the other end to fit it in right (just clamp it, faster and you won't notice the difference).

2. take off the front end...gives you more room to work on it.

3. no clue, keep it stock...eventually you'll get used to the ride position.

RD...Tahoe knows best for the electrical. As far as the seat, if you want, you could probably have an upholstery shop do it for you. Another option is to get some riding boots with a little extra tread (gasp...Harley type boots.... They will help you to stand flat footed at stops, if that is the issue.

i don't know what type of flushies you have. the ones i messed with fit but required some trimming with a dremmel of the fairing. it's all about getting creative with it.

too bad you posted this now...i was in bay area from saturday to tuesday and could've fit you in for a tahoe hack job special! muahahahhaha
