Here's a pic that hopefully you can see the wires... yes ziptied black wires right up the rear edge of the swing arm until they went in that little crevice where you can access the battery box (also where my charge cord pops out). Just the right size zipties will fit the swingarm and not rub the frame.

I also thought about going straight up the backside of the new mount and going up the top part of the swingarm then into the battery box... that way the wires are pretty much hidden all the way.
Wish me luck, going to try and finish this up in the morning. lol

Cool, that's how I was going to run them also. I was a little worried that once I got them to the top, they may get pinched or something with the swingarm going up and down but sounds like they are fine that way.

Well, yes and no. I was not able to hook it up behind the battery and in front of the splash guard. But I am going to be able to make a bracket that mounts to the belt guard and mount it on the swingarm, right behind my license plate.
I was going to try and mount it where the charcoal canister is but after measuring, I don't think it will fit...it will hit the shocks. So I had to regroup and go with spydyr's route and do the swingarm mount.
