Default RE: installing Chubby 504 bars??

Well, getting ready to put things back together again. Be aware when thinking going to the 504's. The length of the switch assembly wires are too close for comfort. I rather have a bit more slack. I ended up making extension wires using HD male and female pins. I had access to a crimper and color coded wires so came put real nice. Basically the novello kit at $50 or do it yourself for $10.

My question is:
I want to check out the wiring connections before putting the tank and consoleback on. Am I right in thinking that I can hook the battery back up, without the tank and console, and make sure my switch assemblies, my new heater relay circuit, etc,all check out? I guess, worse case I could also connect the console and rest on the frame to be complete.

any thoughts?
