slide tank back, pull out connectors from frame, dismantle, and add an extension kit (I used Namz 8 inch). put it back together.

welcome to the forum. Btw, the search function works wonders. There are tonnes of threads regarding the procedure. Good luck!

Why would you want to cut or extend the wires for mini apes?
They fit the FXD without any wiring modification.
If you want to wire internally, then jack up the tank, pop the connectors, remove the wires and fish them through just the way they are.

My sig pic is with mini apes and stock wires.
