Ended up completing this task this weekend.
To remove the caddy you will need to raise the tank. The bracket that holds the horn needs to be removed to remove the caddy but can be put back on after. A Philips, T-15 and T-20 torx sockets to drop the caddy and open it to remove the wires.
I wrapped the wires in electrical tape and tucked them up into the frame. On the bottom side of the frame there is an opening to tuck the wires into. I zip tied the wires inside the frame using the two existing holes in the frame. My FXBBS model does not have cruise or ABS which helps keep it cleaner looking.
I love the way it looks now. I also put on a 2” tank lift and 2” fork extensions.

I ended up relocating the USB port between the tank and the top of the frame so that it comes out the front. I need a way to secure it though. If I put the tank down I’ll need to find another spot for it. The USB is nice to have on a longer ride to charge my phone but I don’t like using maps. If I take a wrong turn that’s just more riding time the way I look at it.
