You gotta use the search man, there are so many threads about it.
That's how I got all my info.
It's easy from everything I've read.

Yeah.
I know I've read that alot of o'toole remove the plastic shroud under the tank entirely, then cut open the wire sheath...flatten the wiring out so it's not a big bulk, then rewrap it in electrical tape.
There I go ruining your search experience, lol.

yes... that is basically the idea... remove the plastic holder then reroute the cables on top and around the frame.. tape them and then the gas tank goes on top...

Here is a youtube video of a guy doing a tank lift/coil & key relocation AND a Wire Tuck.

There are some pretty useful tips on how to get those wires hidden.

Don't watch it at work or around kids...guy is pretty funny
