Or do I have the who concept of extending wires completely wrong?

You could extend them anywhere you like. However, I would extend them at the very end of wires (away from the controls) because if you had a bad connection with one of your extensions, they would not be accessible without pulling them from the bars again.

If you do it at the end of the wires, you can hide everything in the frame.

Welp I got home from work and I thought I would start the stove up in the shop and get to work on the Harley. I took all these new ideas into consideration but ended up only needed to taper the wires and tape it all together as tight as i could. It all went through with a breeze and was just the tedious wire configs that took the most time. All I got left is to sit on her tomorrow and do some adjusting so that everything is comfortable to me.

Thanks again fellas

Once again the pics aren't that great but it'll do i guess ha
