Goodboo. Don't think about it too much or you'll scare yourself. Just dig in and do it. My recommendation is;
1. pull the fuel tank off and get it out of the way. it's easy to take off and put back on
2. there is a plastic wire tray under the fuel tank, pop the top off of it and use that tray for your wires. Makes for a very clean install.
3. sitting on the bike, to the left front of the wire tray is a rubber sheathing with wires going through it for the fairing. Take some WD-40, spray inside that sheathing, and your power wires will slip right through them keeping all wiring concealed.
I am VERY **** about wires. I hate to see them, period! I'll spend an extra hour running wires before I allow 1 single wire to show on anything I do. but that's just me.
