Default what to do with wires behind throttle body support plate

Removed throttle body support plate in anticipation of my shipment from fuelmoto today there was a plastic mount with 2 devices attached on the throttle body support. Do I just tie these up with the other wires or what?

Just tie wrap them up out of the way. Keeps them from flapping around at speed. Side note. Were those two allen head cap screws hard to get out? The ones that hold the black mounting plate on? Mine were a pain.

I used the wire covering plate that comes with the SE Heavy breather on mine

29009-08 $19.95 for the wrinkle black plate as pictured on mine
28890-09 $19.95 for the gloss black plate

I finally had to lift the tank to get the two allen head screws out. I don't know what kind of locktite was on them but they turned hard the whole way out.

THANK YOU for posting the pic of this plate! Didn't realize it exsisted and looking at the raw connector block was starting to irritate me.

Gonna order one..

Yeah I installed the Fuelmotto breather, Vance and Hines head pipe plus Jackpot mufflers plus PCV and I am sure those two allen screws were the hardest part of the entire job.. What a pain to get to.

+1 on the PITA screws. It would be nice to have chrome plate to cover that area.

wasn't as bad as it could have been we buy 5/16 allen wrenches by the boxs so I just cut 1 down and used my 1/4 inch extension for a handle
