Finally cleaned up my gauge/headlight area. Forgot to take a proper before pic, but this is how it was earlier:
crappy pic because it took so long the sun started to go down:
Replaced the triple with a custom one for gsxr swapped SVs, mounted the gauge onto the triple instead of the garbage headlight mount, put the naked SV gauge cover on there, plastidipped the headlight ring (and lost the nut off the headlight adjuster, so now it's walleyed af...), chopped the super long wires on the blinkers, ziptied some of the rat's nest together. Also plastidipped the rad guards, haven't put them on yet.
I'm extremely pleased with the results. The headlight/gauge is finally attached properly -- the old assembly would loosen even with loctite, the gauge couldn't be angled so I could see it fully because the mount 'arms' would hit the MC bleeder bolt, looked like
****, etc.
