1 suggestion: you might want to invest in the newer bullet turn signals that come stock on newer model bikes than yours(or even Kuryakyn mini bullets)... they look much better than the bigger, more cumbersome ones on your '99.

I do have the service manual... I didn't find anything helpful there for this situation.

The access to the service loop is located in front of the rear tire. Its a big black square. Pull it off and pull the service loop all the way out, it has to come all the way out before it will slide back up. Then you can start pushing it back in and pulling at the neck. Make sure you pay attenton to how it comes out or how it was folded....It will be a pain in the a** to put it back in. The connections for the turn signals are in there pretty far. I had to pull the service loop all the way through to get to them. Make sure you dont mess up the order of the pins like I did. I drew a picture and everthing and still screwed them up and had to pull it all apart again...Twice before I caught it...I had a signal that would only work with the tail light on..LOL

As for doing drawings to help put things back together - add a camera to the mix. Take lots of reference pics.

I took mine off of the forks as I thought that they looked obtrusive, and went with Kuryakyn's concave turn signal LED mirrors.
Really cleaned up the front end. Brighter than your bulb arrangment too.

I like having them down on the forks where I can see them. I have to look down to see the turn signal indicators on the tank. I have no idea when the automated turn signal cancel fairy will decide to turn them off for me, so, I like to be able to see them so I can turn them off whenever she doesn't.

There is a rubber plug in an opening on the right side of the frame. Sliding the tank back or taking it off makes access to the plug a little easier. The plug is zip tied to the harness inside the frame. When I had everything apart the other night, I cut that zip tie and pulled the plug out. That allowed me to put a bit more eyeball onto the the harness and other wires going into the frame, but I still couldn't pull any of them forward at all. That's why I was digging around in the back under the seat, to see if I could find the other end and create some slack. No joy.
I do have the service manual... I didn't find anything helpful there for this situation.

pull it out like I have it and you can push it into the frame allowing you to pull the wiring through... this is a give and take process... pull from the front, push the loop a little into the rear, and you'll easily have the wires out.
