Real basic question, that confirms me as an idiot.

cut them
When I installed my new headbolt covers on my 09 FXDF, I found that the factory wired the front spark plug wire directly across the motor.
Directions that came with headbolts, say to wire them above the horn attachment bolt. Just FYI might want to check spark plug wiring for others, would have never noticed factory error......

Theres two other ways that you can secure the wire. You can re use the original tie wrap head that is plugged into the bracket, just cut off the pig tail, get a regular tie wrap and put it on the wire, snug it up then feed the pig tail through the original tie wrap head that is plugged into the bracket.
The other way would be, remove the original plugged in tie wraps, get a regular tie wrap and put it on the wire, snug it up then feed the pig tail through the bracket hole, get another tie wrap and cut the pig tail off so you just have the head of the tie wrap, put that on the pig tail of the tie wrap that you put through the hole (see below).

Below, I had to move the clutch cable to the outside of the frames cross brace to clear the oil lines, it was on the inside before like the two above photos. Removed the original bulky clamp and used a tie wrap, tie wrapped the cable then inserted the pig tail of the tie wrap through the hole in the cross brace and used another tie wrap head to secure it on the inside of the frame brace.

I am replacing my stock spark plug wires with the red screaming eagle wires. Here is my question...
Is there any way to undo the two clips on the top of the long wire (just above the horn) without destroying them, or should I just go conan the barbarian on them and go pick up some new plug/zipties from Harley?
This is for the 09 fxdf if that really makes a difference, although I don't think it does.
