Default Hi Rise Wireing problems

I put 4" risers on my '06 1200L and the wires to the speedometer are too tight. I tried to find some slack in the harness, but there is none. Is there a kit to extend the wires, or do I have to butt splice extentions on all the wires? My first trip out my neutral wire popped out and flung the bulb somewhere. I'm sure I'm not the first one with this problem, and I was hoping there was an easy fix. There's no way to stagger the butt splices, and that will make a wad of wires. Sure could use any help you have. Thanks.......pops

no cuts or splices,brake line was alittle tight.

Man butt connectors are not the answer, they have this wonderfull new invention called a solder iron to repair that problem.
Seriously you need to solder and heat shrink stuff like that or you will have problems forever.

Thanks. I guess the tank comes off to see how much I can gain. THEN the soldering iron will come out.
