I am in the process of doing a 1.5 tank lift and a wire tuck on my 2014 iron.
The trouble im having is from what looks like the main harness. The harness starts from near the oil reservoir, on the right rear of the bike, and goes under the center frame bar and to the left front of the bike. I can get all the other wires above the center frame bar EXCEPT for this harness.
Any tips? Thanks.

Reason: Better title
Unplug every sensor and just work them until they're on top.
You want to tape everything up before hand to hide any visible wires. Once you plug all the sensors back in, loosely zip tie everything together and make sure the tank will clear before fully securing the zip ties.
Don't fret about unplugging all the harnesses. No two plugs are the same.
I know which one you are talking about. All of the connections are on the bottom left in the area the forward controls shifter is. It should be 4 sensors if I remember correctly, oil temp, kill swith and Im drawing blanks on the other two right now. once you disconnect all of that, you will be able to move it around and do what you need. Just a heads up, the bundle of cables that you are talking about is probably the onlly set of cables on the bike that doesnt have much extra play. It is actually made to pretty much the exact length it needs to be. So you will have to either get really creative or possibly solder in some extensions in order to really hide that whole bundle. This set of cables constantly pisses me off. Ive never been able to get it the way I want.
