Default Wire Extensions
I was wondering how much slack I should leave for turning when I extend my wires.

Does anyone have any pics of there wires by the neck of the frame with there apes on?

Thanks
Rob

Enough to turn the bars from full left to right. More is better than not enough.

You should be able to hide the extra length under the tank.
So as jimmers1817 said, a little long is better than a little short.

before you button the tank back down and hook everything up, why don't you just turn the bars to full lock both ways?
