A few days ago I created a post regarding my dealer's half-assed install of the HD front signal relocation kit where they left the wires hanging out instead of running them inside the bracket as designed.

Hey, I'm glad you mentioned that. I was gonna reply to that thread if I came across it again. I installed the HD kit yesterday. I know why they didn't route the cables - it's a PITA. To do it the way they did it would take all of 5 minutes. To do it right, you need to get into the wiring harness through the holes in the neck of the frame, get the connectors out, disassemble them, thread the cables through the stems, reassemble the connector and reconnect.
I did a new headlight and the turn signals in about 2hrs with breaks. Whatever they charged you for labor on the way they installed your signal kit - they owe you back. A stoned monkey could do that in 5 minutes.
On a lighter note, I know some folks think the HD kit looks bad all sticking out and such. I must say however, with the HD bullet headlight and TS relocation kit + visors on the signals, to me it looks cool! Kinda like a cross between a mini-Road King and something from the 50's. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.
