Okay... my right headlight decided to stop working. Upon investigation it appears a previous owner decided to slice and dice the connections. Beyond repair at this point - the correct connector to the bulb is missing and there is almost no wire left to splice into in any case.
I want to put a new harness on.
I am wondering how tough it is to replace the harness - is it a simple plug and play operation? Is it easiest to simply remove the entire fairing set?
Finally, is there a separate harness for each side or a single harness for the entire headlight assembly?
This is what I am planning on purchasing:

As always, thanks!
Oh, and is there anything else I should go ahead and replace or upgrade while I have the entire assembly apart?
Sorry to hear that you are having to undo what the PO did. I don't have answers to the questions about the harness itself, but while you have the cowl off (and yes: I'd be removing both sides and the front, I'd urge you to consider replacing the light bulbs themselves with LED units. Here's what I did, and I really like them (although I wish I had replaced both the high and low rather than just the low beams):
I thought I replied... I saw the LED thread and am considering it, but I hate the idea of cutting up a new harness. IS there a way to mount the LED bulbs without cutting into the harness?
In any case, I like the install you did - it looks very clean. Very tempting...
[edit:]
Never mind... I see how the harness works. Much happier to give that a go.
