Default not so positive

i just spent an hour and more than a few cuss words trying to connect the positive battery cable up to my fatboy. is it me or does it seem that the motor company could have spared maybe 1 or 2 inches of cable so you could actually pull the battery out of the horse shoe to get the screw in?
