Default 2011 fatboy coil relocation

Hey I have a question on this. I have a 2011 fatboy and am relocating my horn to the front and the coil to the horn w/ the horn cover and removing the rear coil mounting bracket.

my questions are

1) what size wire is the delphi connector ( looks like 18 or 20 ) so i can solder and extend

2) regarding the relocation to the horn .. I wanna put it under the horn cover and am wondering how others have mounted it bracket wise ( no need to reinvent the wheel as im sure others have done this )

3) how can you lift the tank to run the wires without removing the leads wires etc?

Not sure on the wire size but your life will be much easier if you lift the tank out of the way enough to get to the harness. I pulled all the wires out and re-routed them after extending them and re-wrapped them into the harness wrap. that part was pretty easy since the wrapping has a tacky strip along one side to hold it together.

You can also swap the connectors in the clip so you don't have to cross your plug wires if you mount it facing down.

I put my horn down on the right side behind the tranny and no cover.
