The wire's are hard wired into the switches,but there is a plug under the gas tank to remove them. the plug should fit in the holes in your bars.

Two plugs,one for each side and you only have to remove the front bolt on the tank.

You will need to pull the wires out of the plug bodies to fish the wires through the bars.

Remove the front bolt of the tank and raise it up high enought to access the rubber cover that is under the frame beneat the tank. You can pull this out to access the wiring harnesses, e.g. the two desired connectors. Unplug them and then pull them out through the opening on each side of the neck. Take your time... no problem.

Default Moving Signals to lower tree

I forgot i also want to move my directional signals to the lower tree while i'm at it , i know they sell the mounting kit and that looks easy , but what about those wires , i take it they are all together and slide them down inside the handlebar and leave enough to reach the blinkers ?

If you locate your turnsignals to your lower tree or forks, those wires will run straight back to their respective plugs in the backbone, not in the bars.

The turnsignal wires are separate from the control switch wires.

Do a search on taking the connectors apart, I think Mudpuddle posted on how to take them a part. Dis-connect the fuel line at the gas tank or you are likely to break it!
