I’d like to swap out the spark plug wires on my ‘18 Deluxe with orange SE ones for cosmetic purposes. The instructions that come with the wires say to remove the seat and fuel tank. The service guide doesn’t mention doing either.
I get that it’s prob a little easier to remove the tank and seat, but it also looks like the wires can be routed to the other side of the bike from the coil pretty easily.

I put the red phat wires on my breakout. Matches the seat stitching, looks great. The problem is the two right side ones. Could prolly be done, but I didn't wanna ruin the stock ones by grabbing on just the wire. I just removed the seat, pulled the rear bolts on the tank a propped it up with a rolled up cloth or 2x4. Then it's easy and you can seat the wires nicely. Ya only need a little more room, and this method provided it. No biggie.
