Push the wiring slack up from under the seat as you gently pull it out of the neck. The wiring is all in one bundle coming up the spine. It splits out just before it emerges from the neck.
Doug,

So if I am relocating turn signals (which I am), all I really need to do is pull the wiring harness up toward the bars and find the connectors there?

I know it may seem like a dumb question, but I am trying to learn - and my manual does not make this clear.

That is correct, just make sure you use a push/pull, don't just yank on the wires from the neck. The slack under the seat is how they get the connectors back into the neck at the factory.
