There does not appear to be any other damage to the fairing.

Hello Again, Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions! The gauges are now installed and working perfectly. I have a series of pictures showing the senders, wiring, etc. if anyone is interested. Bruce

Hi All, Thanks for all of the very helpful suggestions! I like the idea of taking power near the headlight - 12V there is near the instruments, controlled by the ignition switch, and the additional draw of the VDO gauges and their lights on that circuit should be small. I will post a longer reply and pictures when I get the whole thing working. Providing the 12V supply and ground are really the last steps, so I hope I will get to posting the installation soon. The back side of the fuse block on my Rosso Corsa is pretty hard to reach, due to a short wiring harness coming up from underneath. I can't even see if there are spade terminals on the backside where one could make wiring connections. Is my bike worse than usual in this regard?! Thanks again! Bruce

Hi All, I am installing VDO electric oil temperature and oil pressure gauges on my 2003 Rosso Corsa. I need to find a 12V ignition-switched supply to run the gauges and their lights when the ignition is on. Does anyone have a suggestion for where to get the 12V switched power? Can I safely take 12V directly from one of the existing positions on the fuse block? Thanks, B. Bigelow
