Default Solso seat question

When you mount a solo seat on a street glide what do you do with the electrical wire harness on the left side of the bike and the airshock tubes. Do you just leave them where they are or do you re-route them? I just think it looks bad with them showing

I rerouted the electrical connector to fit under the seat where you can't see it.I can't remember how the air lines were because I replaced my air shocks with Progressive shocks.I have a Mustang solo touring seat and I did have to buy a mini fender bib with chrome mounting nuts to make it look right.

My connector fit under the seat as well, the air lines I rerouted. I agree, they look terrible where they are when you switch to a solo seat.

The only thing that will be showing if you go with a Corbin seat will be the airline tube for the shocks. I'm pretty **** when it comes to having the bike have clean lines and even that doesn't bother me !!!
