So when I completed the dual-projector headlight project, I was left with the bundle of wires on the left side:
I talked about tucking the wires in the coffin. I had installed the ChurchKey V-Bak, so I sat down, had a beer, and cut the first wire.
First step was to re-route the wiring loom from the ECU into the coffin. I simply made a U-turn near the coils and fed the wiring harnesses one by one down to the coffin through the snorkel. I took a knife and cut out the rubber wall inside the snorkel to make routing the wires easier.
Then I took the wires from the controls and the speedometer and fed them in, around, and behind the speedometer. In the end, I decided to not drill any holes in the frame. the left side neck was going to be used for the Tachometer wires, the key barrel wires, and the turn signals so I thought the best place would be to route them right along the top.
Then began the long and tenuous process of extending the wires. I did it one wiring harness at a time as to not get confused. I would cut the wiring, add a length of wire in the middle, and route it down to the snorkel:
Connect them all together,
and shoved them into the coffin along with the DDM ballast and ignitor. It all fit perfectly. :0) Put the gas tank back on, fired it up, rode it up and down my street, and all is good.
From my perspective, the wires that run along the center are really not that visible. The movement from left to right are unobstructed and fluid. Overall, I'm happy with the turnout.
