Crikey, that's a lot of bunched up wiring!
I had to remove my tank and airbox then pull all the wiring and relays into the natural gap just infront of the carb's. Otherwise they're gonna rub on something and short out (not that mine did of course
)
I ended up on a night shift just after i converted mine "cruising" down the M61 unlit section when all of a sudden, the headlights went out!!!!
It was a hard lesson to learn, not one i would want anyone else to repeat. It doesn't take too long either.
stop polishin' it and ride the f***ing thing!
It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.
