Thanks TF! 
I know I can get LH bits at the local McMaster-Carr Industrial Supply.  I just watched a youtube on tank removal

Don't know if tank removal will be necessary to find the disconnects for twist grip & grip heat or are they located under frame covers behind head??!!  Hey Trialsman....where did you find the connectors for the right grip throt & heat?
I might try installing a pair of driving lights while doing the throttle mod., I guess the connectors for that are in the same neighborhood.

You will need to remove the plastic cover on the right hand side of the steering stem to get to the connector.
The tank does not need to come off for this, but it’s not a big deal either way.

Thanks Huzo!  Not having to remove the tank will make things a little easier.  In the video I watched on tank removal, the poster found a pinched hose.  I might re-watch the vid and try to locate that hose to make sure mine isn't pinched.
