Default Slack in backbone wiring?

2003 Low Rider

I relocated my front turn signals and also want to install a new chrome headlamp housing. I need to get at the wiring connectors in the backbone.

Is there enough slack in the backbone wiring to yank out the turn signal and headlamp wiring from the backbone access panel at the front without removing the rear service loop and letting slack out from there? I have gorilla hands and and I am trying to avoid removing my rear tire to get at the service loop.

Is there enough slack in the wiring to get at the connectors?

Thanks, BigLow

When I moved my turn signals, I decided removing the plugs from the turn signal wiring was much easier than battling with trying to get enough slack to get to the connectors in the frame.

There are no connectors on '05 and later Dynas. They are wired into a common wire harness. I went through the same thing on my '05 FXD.

Did you look under the seat or tank for the connectors (plugs)?
