Finally got my coil/key relo done along w/ the tank lift and speedometer relo. I think it looks good but could be better
My question for anyone who has done the kit, what did you do w/ the wires and/or plastic piece. Right now I have the plastic piece there as it hides the wires, but I think it looks awkward, I just don't know what to do w/ all the wires. Ideas? Images?
Very curious myself! Im thinking that the wires your speaking of are the wires "typically" tucked under the tank with the space created from the tank lift?
The plastic piece I'm not to certain on purpose but see alot of bikes with this removed, my guess is once the wires are tucked, this wouldn't be needed?

Here's me trying to get a pic, and notice the plastic piece runs all the way down the tank (first image)
It just seems like there's a nest of wires that would be visible if that piece wasnt there

Search the forum for "wire tuck". That's what most people do.
thank you sir, I found a pretty informative YouTube video showing the steps of it. involves removing the tank completely and tucking all the wires in. I'm thinking this will be a winter project
I don't think most remove the tank. Haven't done it myself (it's on the list), but I see most just prop it up so they can keep lowering it to test the fit of their work. Most report it takes a few hours, not a few days like in the video. There's a how to post on the forum for sure. DK links to it alot.

i'll have to dig into it further. it's definitely something I want to do, but I prolly won't do it until after riding season.
This is what I did because I found leaving the tank on when wrapping the wires was a pain. Start by pulling the main 30 amp fuse. Disconnect the fuel line (have a paper towel or rag handy cause you may get a couple drops) then disconnect the wiring for the fuel pump. Pull both bolts and remove the tank. Pull all plastic covers. My wires were a mess so I disconnected each plug and straightened them up. Use self fusing silicone tape to wrap the wires starting at the bottom near the oil tank and work your way up. Place a ziptie every 6-8 inches going up the backbone to secure wires to frame but do not tighten them right away. Place the tank back on and connect using only the bottom bolt. Now that your wires are wrapped and your zipties are in place its time to test fit to see if your tank clears the wires. If it doesn't you can use a towel or block of wood to prop the front of the tank up so you can make small adjustments to your bundle of wires until you have enough clearance. Snug up zipties when it clears and put it all back together.
I lifted mine 1.5" and getting the wire connectors under the tank lined up right for the tank to clear was the most time consuming part. Will probably take you 1-2 hours.
