Now it is time to TEST to make sure these "MOTORSPORT Grade" wires work by first connecting all 3 wires (Ground, Indicator and Turn Signal) :ROFLMAO::

And yes, they worked:
First, both left and right INDICATOR Lights (White LED):

Then test the Left and Right turn signal, and again worked:

Now I need to add the Rizoma Adapter to install these Rizoma Corsa indicator / turn signal combo onto the MS Production Corse (larger size) Intakes, with Titanium ProTi bolt of course:

Done:

But wait, I forgot,... I need to install the Rizoma Corsa onto the Rizoma Adaptor first before installing the Rizoma Adaptor onto the MS Production Carbon Intake.
Use the ProTi Titanium Nuts of course:

Now time to pay attention back to the Speedometer. First, I found this new but old stock real Ducati Carbon Fiber speedometer surrounds (to someday replace the foam):

Test fit them, but I still need to refinished them in Matte Clear, so it will become DRY CARBON looks:

First problem, the Neutral Light Indicator is NOT bright enough, so I am replacing with brighter LED:

Oh, talking about light, I bought this dual-function tail light and brake light. Soon I will post why:

I also purchased these custom Y-Splitter SuperSeal connectors from a vendor in Italy to be use with the 2 lights above... I think you might already know where I am going with this:
