Are you going to relocate it on the rear fender, or the front tire? I would get a tape measure and measure the distance difference and the length of the wires.

You will NOT need to lengthen the wires, simple matter of re-routing them.. They originate under the seat, and when moving it to between the cylinders you will be closer to the seat.

You can also move the ignition key back at the same time. Click HERE for different options.

Couple of vids you may find useful-
