I can find videos and info for LX150s and GTS300s, but nada for a GT200.... Spider uses the orange wire on the LX150 video...any chance the orange one shown below will work. Or...? Help...?

Cheers Andy

Done and done -- off the white wire Andy suggested.

Since I had to remove the glove box assembly to get at the fuse box, it might have made sense to just go ahead and wire straight up to the battery, but so it goes.

The grips and wiring where pretty easy, but futzing with the glove box and all the trim -- what a pain!

Off for a test-ride in this brief window of almost sunny weather....
