Default wiring harness questions

Guys,
I have a 05 Deluxe and just purchased some nice beachbars for it that are 36inch wide with 15inch pullback. I test fit them the other day only to find the wiring harness needs to be lengthened. Harley wants like $40 and almost 10 days to get the kit here. I have been told to get some o the same guage wire and make my own. I have no problems doing this at all. I need to know the correct guage of wire though..... This is for the switchs on the handlebars that connect under the tank!

Eric
