Thank you dude. That's exactly what I was looking for. The leads on my bike's wiring harness are much farther towards the back of the frame.
How hard was it to pull those stock black connectors?
Thanks again man.

My connectors must be tied to the frame somewhere on the blind side and I wasn't able to move their position relative to the master cylinder.
But I was fortunate that the new pressure switch cable was long enough to reach the black connectors.
In your case it might be necessary to make an extension cable?

You know what? Now that I think about it, my connector is in the same place yours is.
Here is an old picture I found in my phone. The connection for my pressure switch is right behind the cam cover.
That switch you use me is the Goodrigde one?

That looks identical to my old setup.
I did indeed use the Goodridge pressure switch, you'll have no problems at all when you tackle this later on.
PS
Just ordered the exhaust!

Fitted the exhaust today, sounds awesome, no time to reconfigure the fuelpack or try out the optional quite baffle, that'll have to wait 'till next weekend.

It's amazing how converting to Mid controls has made the bike so much more comfortable for me, particularly the right leg, it now sits behind the air cleaner, before the conversion my leg had to go around the air cleaner to reach the Fwds which made my knee ache on long rides.
Don't think it'll be too close to the pipes, they are offset at the front to give the necessary clearance, sitting stationary on the bike all appears fine.
