the tank many times during the taping - dont wait till the end
only to find out the tank wont drop down enough....

Here's a pic of the OL's '13 Buckshot Iron - hope it helps,

Nice looking bike! So when you do the wire tuck where do the wires go? Under the tank? Also, what do you attach them to the frame with? Is it possible to do just the wire tuck without relocating the coil and ignition?

I would recommend doing a search - there are MANY threads
on how to do a wire tuck with much better explanations than
I can provide.

good luck,

Here's a thread with a step by step, with pics on doing a wire tuck. It can be done with or without a tank lift, and with or without a coil or key relo....although if you leave the coil and key there, it is still going to be a bit cluttered...but at least all the wires and plastic will be gone.

btw, that bike pictured with your question does have the coil and ignition relocated.
