Default Wire Tuck

I was bored and looking at some old pics of mods and just thought I would post how I did my wire tuck.

I haven't taken my Sporty tank off yet, being only a few months old. My old Glide doesn't have that much wire on it! Difficult to see why a Sporty needs so much.....

Well done by the way!

The plugs take up all the space. But you can pull everything off the front by undoing those plugs. It does suck though.

Holy cow, look at all those wire harnesses. I don't think my 91 has anywhere near that level of wiring.
