Good short term solution. But, if you really want to go the distance, you need to do this.

And if you don't need the fuel you could do a really cool Ghost Rider impersonation.

I don’t think I could stand to ride the shaky single that far.

Colin Edwards did that already riding the Aprilia Cube.

When I worked at the motorcycle shop we would get customers that would fully deck out their bikes. I would run into this issue a lot, you would get to the point with LED's that it just wouldn't work right. The solution was to add resisters into the lighting circuit. It would get bad enough I would just cut off the rear harness and build my own. Took less time then using the crappy connectors that aftermarket companies shipped their kits with and then trying to add resisters to it.

Totally forgot, but I did help build a bike like this for a customer a long time ago, he was a local dentist. He rode 49 states in 50 days or something like that. Here is an old forum post of some of his mods. A lot of his stuff was home brew solutions. Some he had us install at the shop.

Well, this first day of "remote learning" is half over. The 8th grade granddaughter is on her school laptop in the guest bedroom; the 6th grade granddaughter is in the other spare bedroom on her school laptop.

The preschool granddaughter is running around lose. Ma-ma is at the hair dressers.

Pa-pa has just fixed lunch for the school children. After their lunch break is over and ma-ma returns to collar the 4 ager, pa-pa will be off to ..... NAP TIME -
