Default Wire tuck and turn signals.

So I relocated my turn signals, but I ran into a problem. They run into one connector that connects to the main wiring harness. Therefor putting them both on causes the connector to bundle up.I see I can lift one side of them up, but then do I just pull the wires out or what?

Also there's a connector on the main wiring harness that looks like it run right into or near the oil filter whats the deal on that one?

You can remove the wires from the connector then reroute them the way you want, or do what I did, had my tank and headlight off, turn signal bodies will pass between the neck and fork so I just passed them back through the forks till they were off completely, then routed them back through the way I wanted, then gather up the slack under the tank with a wire tie. I have both wires coming out of the left of the tank, one goes straight to the left and the right wire passes between the headlight and neck to the right side. The turn signal wires are the to 2 in the picture below. but like I said I did this by passing the signal bodies, wires attached throught and between the forks and neck.

The one goes into the oil filter, can I just pull it out, no oil will leak?

The other seems to go up into the transmission but I can't tell where. These all connect to the main wiring harness and are the last two wires.

Nevermind I see those 2 wires don't even really give you anymore slack. What are most people doing about the black plastic holder near the oil tank. I cant get the main wiring harness under the frame without it being really close to the rear cylinder, pretty much on top of it.

That is your oil pressure switch, you can unplug it, here are some more pictures in a tread I did a while back

Guess I'll go up the same side like you did. Could you only cross over the main wiring harness half way up like you did. How many inch lift do you have?

I have a 2" and as far as the wire routing my signal wires were really the longest. They just wound up where they are

Figure I'd show you guys my progress. I measure up the tank and all looks pretty good. However I did order some deuce style front turn signals so I really don't want to go any further until i get them. I think the chrome color will give the front end some standout. May even do it in the back if I like it enough.

I also don't know whether I should run the ignition under the frame or not.
