Default Were do they go?

So I was looking at the Exile customized 07 FXST. while I was looking at it I noticed the the plug wires go back into the heads! Saw what!!!
Hos is this? Is it one of those things they do for the picture just to make the bike look super clean?

Here is the link.

Check out their cat. The sell a coil relocation kit for $99. Guess the wires can then be re-routed.

In the catalog you can just make out there is a slot where it goes up into the head. Guess I just showed how little I know about bikes. Looks super clean that way. I just dont know how much performance is affected by having such long wires. I know with cars you want as short of a coil wire as possible but thats just to get max power to the distributer. Not sure if the same applies here.

I'd think the added lenght in this case is a non-issue. I was wondering about heat though ??
