Default Plug wire short cuts

I'm thinking about changing out my spark plug wires, but the book doesn't talk about it. It looks like the gas tank has to come off. I can't see where they plug in at. Has anybody done it? The bike is a 08 EGC.
Thanks in advance

Default changing wires

I have an 08 road king, does anyone know if I have to remove the tank to change the wires?

You don't need to completly remove the tank, remove the rear tank bolts (under front of seat) and loosen the two side bolts (one each side under a plastic cover just ahead of the tank. The plastic covers pop off. Then lift the back of the tank a couple inches, place a towel underneath to hold it. Now you'll be able to see the plastic "C" clips holding the front cylinder plug wire.
