Looking at the service manual diagram and the parts fiche, it appears that 
the drive assembly connects to a short jumper line, not directly to the 
back of the speedo. I would first try following the existing wire up to the 
molex type quick disconnect. If it is accessible you can do the replacement 
without fairing removal. If you can't find the connector, then it looks 
like you might be removing a few bits of plastic......
