Where to Hide...
...the Deutsch connectors once one has extended the wires? They used to be in the stock risers of my custom. Now...they are currently hanging...and I want to hide them somewhere to make the bike look cleaner.
I've been told to put them in the headlight bucket, but I am planning on swapping it and I don't even know how I'm supposed to do that.
Any suggestion/idea?
Thanks!
EDIT: this is how it looks like now. It is my temporary solution I came up with last night to get rid of that ugly old tool bag that was hiding the connectors before I was done extending the wires.

there really isnt anywhere to hide it except under the tank but what you can do is....
Take apart the Deutsch connectors (save them somewhere) and connect the wires without the Deutsch connectors and then heat shrink over them.
Does this make sense to you? The two wires will simply connect to one another with the metal pins.

Hey man, did you end up figuring out what to do with it? Did you try to wire it all under the tank like they said?
I have the same exact 02 xlc bike as you and im thinkin of doing the same. Did you not have to buy the ape hanger extension kit for the brake hose, wire extensions, and turn signals?
