Default Easy Bracket tailight FXDWG

Hopefully some good ideas come from this to help me and others with this same bracket.

Easy bracket Dyna Wide Glide tail light relocation assembly - I have taken the bolt off to check out how the wires are fed, but I am unsure on how to extend and secure the wires for moving the tailights back. I thought about sticky tabs with convelex(sp?) tubing, but wondered if anyone else has this setup and what did you do, any advice, etc.

Attached is pic of a 2010, and I see that little chrome piece I need to get, and I will be riding up to get the rest of the parts tomorrow so any part numbers(BONUS!!!) would be helpful as well. If not I will pick the mechanics brain I know up there, and I will post my results to complete the project. Yes with pictures.......

There should be "just enough" wiring in the stock harness to let you run the wires to the new location without splicing in a new section of wiring... and everything else you need should be in the kit you receive, including the small chrome blanks for the openings left form the OEM rear light housings, the chrome license plate frame, hardware, etc.

Just take care to follow the instructions for how to pull the wires out of the connectors so that you don't damage the connectors. The wires will lay back down in the plastic channels that run around the inside of the fender after the rework, just as they did when stock. I added a piece of black Gorilla tape over the wire access hole in the fender just because I didn't like it being opened.

Only other word of caution is make sure you apply heat to the bolts that attach the stock license plate bracket to the bike. There was some serious thread locker on my bike's bolts that I didn't expect and I buggered up one of the bolts to the point where I needed to drill out the head to remove it.
