Your bike is 08-up right?
I'll have to look them up and buy a set. I'll tell them you sent me and ask for a discount.
Let me know if you want those plugs.

I have an OG set from 5-0 Dro that look identical to those. I believe he is on the book of faces and still lurks here if you wanna go that route.
I also have a really good and simple upgrade to the tiny shift lever pivot that has survived at least 2 lowsides without any damage if you're interested Mr. Racy Mc Race Face.
I think Sandro just posted on here that he is only doing ASV levers any more.
And BTW... I already have Race Face on my mountain bike.

Yup, my machine is an 08, though T-Rex has kits for the earlier machines too IIRC. If you actually get a discount for saying my name, or hell if they even recognize it, I'll be floored.On the connectors, they're cheap enough new that I've bought a crimper and a couple sets of connectors. Once done, should I decide to upgrade my headlight assembly, it'll be a plug and play operation. (cycleterminal.com has a bunch of the connectors our bikes use for reasonable prices FYI.)
Cooter, spill on the shift pivot protection, I've already smoked one...

I'll put these down on the list of things to buy to finish my track bike.
1. Battery
2. Sliders
3. Tank grips
I went one step further on my de-heat-gripping when setting up for racing, got the switch cluster without the heated grip switch. Any reason not to use the AUX power feed the grips pulled from in OEM config for powering aftermarket grips?
Putting the right Ulysses peg bracket back together without taking the rear brake assembly off the bike, what a PITA... and... I gotta take the rear brake caliper off anyways to get a good bleed on it. D-oh! Also, is it just me or is there barely any slack on the rear brake switch lead? It's not being moved in operation so I guess that's ok, but an extra inch or two sure would be nice. (That's what he said!)
I think I was able to get a good bleed on mine without removing the caliper. I use fairly large syringe and carefully wrap some Teflon tape on the bleeder threads. I also remove the rear reservoir into a plastic bag and zip tie around the end. In my case, I wound up removing the rear reservoir and only have a piece of clear tubing with a cap on it.
TMI... I converted mine back to Lightning/Firebolt foot peg mounts and had to get a new rear master and brake hose, as the Uly was was too long? I think.
I've already had the two bolts out in the past to clean the slides and drill them for wiring, so was pretty easy. Pop the bolts, caliper out, let the pads swing to the side and clamp the piston back with a light vice grip. Wrench and hose on the bleeder, crack it and pump and within three pumps the air that had been hiding in the high spot in the line blurted out. Few more pumps to get the resi down where I wanted it, tighten the bleeder, reinstall caliper, pump it up and done.
I had to swap masters as well, Lightning/Firebolt has the caliper mounting bores threaded vs unthreaded on the Uly. I also SHOULD have gotten a shorter Lighting/Firebolt brake line but just stuffed the longer Uly one in there. My rear hugger is cut down to just the left side where it acts as a guide for the brake line to keep it out of the tire and shock. The Dunlop 180 slick is taller than the stock tire so I had to cut the hugger down for tire and warmer clearance. It's on my list of items to source.
My other fun find, I didn't realize the Uly peg mounts are different than Lightning/Firebolt, so my race pegs won't swap, and I've only got one rider's Uly peg, a billet one that I can't figure out who made so... in addition to needing a left side peg bracket and pegs I *also* need a right side rider's peg, d-oh!
I've got both peg mounts from my Lightening that are just gathering dust. I put some Uly foot peg brackets on because they are a lot lower which my replacement knees really like(Thanks 34nineteen). Don't have the foot pegs. The mounting flange is wider than the Uly so I think your race pegs should fit.
