Well done Jay! BUT I'd be careful of that battery - make sure the toolbox doesn't interfere or sit on it - that could cause you all kinds of trouble down the road. Stock there is only a tiny bit of clearance.
I'm personally a fan of ANY QUALITY aftermarket electrical bits for those bikes. When new and unmodified they're fine, but 30 or 40 years later not so fine, and adding anything stresses them.
I had an Motorrad Elektik on my R80G/S and it worked great. I hear good things about the Endurolast unit too, dunno about the other.
Be sure to give the wiring harness and all connections a REALLY good going over, cleaning everything to sparkling clean, check the insulation for hardening and potential cracking. Make the grounds perfect!
Good luck, they're wonderful bikes if looked after, and you know their weaknesses and deal with them in advance.
