I'm trying to install a Krator T sport fairing on my 07 fxdl. I have a moonsmc headlight block and the headlight doesn't have enough slack in the wire to reach the mounting point on the block. The wiring only needs a couple of more inches to reach. Any ideas on how to remedy this would be much appreciated.

I ran into this issue as well - continue gently pulling and massaging it - it'll come out
It was also made easier by removing both left and right side rubber grommets, and pulling out some of the wiring on the left-hand side. After the left-hand side wiring was pulled out a bit, the headlight wire seemed to snake out way easier. If it feels like its tangled and wont give any more, pull the folded harness and shove it around a bit to create some extra room. Mine had about 6-10" of extra wire in there for the controls and taller bars - pretty big rat nest in there. But, that's how I got the headlight wire out and extended far enough to reach. After it was pulled out of the frame neck, there was about 2-4" from the female connector to the frame of excess wire to work with. Definitely the most difficult part of the Krator fairing install.

Excellent!! I was pulling my hair out (what I have left anyway) trying to figure out how to get more slack. You solved the mystery for me and I do appreciate it.

Post the installed fairing pictures in the Krator T-shirt fairing thread when you can. Wed love to see em
Thanks for the suggestion cggorman. I did manage to coax enough of the wire out to mount the headlight on the block. Finished installing the fairing a little while ago. Will post pics soon.
