wires showing
time to nut up or shut up
Originally posted by Rican KatgrlThe way that I look at it is, gear is cheaper than hospital bills and skin grafts. Yes, I think people are idiots for not wearing proper gear. Whether you ride a harley or sport bike. If you have money to go buy a bike then be smart and buy the gear. Whether its 50 degrees or a 100 degress its ATGATT for me.... But that is just my opinion.Tags: None

I have the same bike. my pic doesn't have the bottom cowling on it though cause its being repainted. the only wires I had a problem with hanging out is the one for the fuel gauge. post some pics if you can plz. maybe use electrical tape and tape the hanging wires to other wires that don't hang

And there are lots of whys to hide the wires..
It take a little creativity though, and probably some "adjustments" to the harness.http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=110816

Dude is that a semi oval led taillight? Thought bout doin that and as far as the hiding the wires i would paint the fuse panel black and i tucked my wires under my seat and maybe ziptie them up behind the frame, some of my wire i had to cut and and put longer wire in to tuck them better
any pics of your tail?

i can have more pics next Tuesday. as for the fuse box the problem is that there is a gap that water can get in the direction that you ride. so it kinda forces water into the fuse box. as for the tail light its more of a pill shaped and its nothing special. i mounted it were the shovel used to be. and its a light from a semi truck.time to nut up or shut up

I see you ran your headlight and turn signal wiring underneath your gas tank. Do you have problems with them getting too hot or the plastic melting? I did that and the electrical tape was melting it was getting so hot under there...
Looks good btw, thanks for the pics, I want to take my rear cowls off and wanted to see what it looked like.
