You may not want to use Harley's kit, but use a set of relocation clamps instead.
I have had both and have to say the clamps look better and put the signals closer to the fork tubes.
Here's a pic I took of them both on my bike to show the difference.
Here's another pic that shows the large gap the Harley mounts leave a gap between the mount and the tree clamp.
IMHO it makes the mount look like the mount was designed to fit a different bike.
As for the wires, I already had my tank off to swap out the handle bars and cables at the time.
So it wasn't really hard to do, but I used some mesh over the covering to make the cheap looking plastic look a little nicer.
If you want to try doing it yourself, I posted a write up on it in the DIY Cheap thread that's at the top of the Softail page.
I used the same trick to cover all the wires from the handlebar controls as well.
