Default Heritage bars on fat- wire help

I just installed 2006 Heritage bars on my 2006 fatboy. I also had previously 3" risers with a 1" pull back. I want to keep those too.. I am 5'10" and this put the bars so my arms are just slightly inclined towards my hands.. I think should be good and helps me sit back also... but I have not ridden the bike..

anyway.. all went well, clutch cable, throttle and right wires.. but the left wires are 1" short (my left)... looks like that cable runs under the tank... is there anyway I can get an inch of slack or am I gonna have to buy an extension?

Pull the front tank bolt, loosen the rear, and take a look under there. You should be able to get enough play to lift it up and look under there.

If you do move the tank disonnect the fuel line first. The replacement is about $50.
