Splice, solder and heat shrink, but never ever think about using Scotchloks........
The wiring seems to be in good nick even though it's 20 years old, wouldn't demean the old girl

Can see the logic of that, less mess and wiring inside the headlight area. Downside is taking the wire up the the bars, but at least with my airhead once the seat is off, there's only 3 pipes to remove, undo the clip and off it comes
And if I used that to give power to a centech panel like the one shown on this site: http://www.gunsmoke.com/motorcycling/r100gs/charge_diagnostics/index.html that might be the easiest option for me

I should change this
Scotchlocks?
Get a male and a female spade connector (sheathed - stop sniggering, Thunder) and a length of wire. Cut two inches off the wire so you now have a long and a short bit. Stick the male on the end of the short bit, and stick the other end of the short wire plus one end of the long wire into the female connector.
You can then pull the connector off the ignition switch and insert your new piggyback loom in place. You now have the feed you require which can also be put back to standard if you wish, no need for cutting into the original loom at all.

Scotchlocks don't some people just hate them with a vengance, not garages for some reason 
Looking at something like http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/terminalsnonins/photo/Pg.jpg for the piggybacks, with some insulation on as well

I wonder who gave the link
Might be worthwhile buying shares in the company, or do you own it 
Don't want to empty you garage of usefull bits and pieces
The flag ones are ones I never found using google, and for them to supply sheaths for them as well 
Found this site: http://jhau.maliwi.de/mot/index.htm while looking for things.

Can see the logic of that, less mess and wiring inside the headlight area. Downside is taking the wire up the the bars,
3 core wire taken from the volt meter, down the bar's following the path of existing wire sheath and into the head light shell for the fuse board. 1 goes to earth, the other to a switched positive tab and the other (for the light) goes to the parking light tab. Easy peasy, job done and it wont look a mess
.Safe riding Karl.
