Gotta cut the plastic harness off. The tank is not bad at all. Like Joe says, get a nice supporter for it to stay up to do everything else. Was also wondering about wire lengths, I will be returning the rear soft tail ones, do they measure from the connectors, or are the connectors included for total length?

Oh, and be sure the coil is clear of both heads by a bit, so when they move while running the coil isn't bumped into.

I used the rear wires also. A bit long for what I wanted, but that wasn't so bad.

The problem is, now the bike is running rich.

Did anyone else have that trouble? What did you do to correct it?

Mine seems ok. Only rode it 2 short rides though, and it's an '07 Nightster, but gotta be pretty much the same. It FEELS faster, lol

no word on wire length? not sure i have the tools to cut and shorten them, so i would prefer to buy the right length from coolines. im gonna try to have everything done this weekend so all i have to do is attach the wires when they come in the mail just got my auto meter today for the speedo relocate, been wanting to get brave enough to do this for a year!

I ordered 10.5" plug wires for this set up from USKoolines. Just BIT too long, I think 10" even would be perfect. Still looks well enough no need to spend another $27. Another thing is, at least were my coil is, the top of the 90 degree conector towards the aft fits, but just barely underneath my tank lift. Think my 1/2 inch off measurement was due to using the harley connectors as a reference for the Kooline ones. Oh well, I know I will find the $$ to right this really minor discrepency. Love this link, one of the few mods I can Afford.
p.s. spring is finally here in TX, hopefully soon everywhere else, rip it up.

In fact, 10" braided high-performance custom made wires from USKoolines ARE perfect. I don't know if I got the wrong wires when I ordered the Rocker wires, but they were way too long. If anyone wants 'em for about $15 + shpng, PM me.
