Default headlight question
I have an 07 superglide and i extended the headlight out about 2", the wires are a little more snug than I would like. I was wondering if there is anymore slack in the wires in the frame or if I just need to add some length myself. Thanks in advance for the replies.

You should find the correct gauge wire from hardware store or Radio Shack and add the length.

For two inches... I would find more slack in the backbone... there will be some. Pop the rubber grommet out and dig a little... gently... I'll bet you can loosen them up a bit.
