Rear fairing removal with electrics tidying up / Seat modification help.

I've started to remove the fairings and bits off the  gs500 to prepare to make a streetfighter or more of a cafe racer type of look to my gs500.
like this pretty much.

I'm just wondering what rear tailight/ indicator is best to use for this.

And one major question is what to do to tidy up the electrics and etc. in this picture. Do I just start unscrewing everything and cable tying everything under the seat as best as possible?

Also again, good to know what best brakelight or indicators to use, or even a brakelight/indicator combo too.

Thanks.





***Update*** ended up unscrewing all the electrics hanging off the side and tucking it under the seat with zip ties pretty well.

Just figuring out what rear lights / indicators to get to work well with plans to modify the seat area.

One that can be seen, kinda like the stock one...

I turned my stock tail light upside down and recessed it back a little. Looks stock. For turn signals I went w/black, skinny, w/led's.  Practically invisible until they're on.
I think the challenge is like what Stevo said, visibility. Most aftermarket lights are so small, you wonder how well they'll be seen...

I've already done a bit of modifications, I was just wondering if this rearbrakelight works with the gs500 electrics plug for the brakelight.

and choice of indicators- have temporary ones right now. I know these will work for gs500 b/c it says 2 wiring system. http://www.amazon.com/Anodized-Aluminum-Panhead-Mounting-Kawasaki/dp/B00E5VXI5E/ref=pd_sim_263_33?ie=UTF8&dpID=51QzM66gCML&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=15AA8FKF6RVGMM29EXF3



I've noticed the rear brake light has a 3 prong plug, do I need to look at anything specific while looking for rear brake lights?
