I don't mean a literal "wire tuck"... just wire placement now that the engine is back another 5". Plus, I shaved all the hangers/mounts/straps so I don't really have any where to use as reference to tuck them. What did you do? you stretched the engine AND frame....
yeah i did wire tuck on mine. same here i shaved everything. u can reroute them to the left side of the gas tank and have the wire come up from there. here some pics of what i mean( sorry cant find the other camera had to use my phone)

u can see that i dont have anymore tabs or brackets.


its go on the left side of the gas tank and go up right next to the spark plug



everything is cleaned up and rerouted to a better place

RRGS for the win with P30 Brembo caliper

kenny- Yea but there is a lot more needed that would add up quick, so kind of leaning towards buying a kit more.

I would say this if you have the cash flow, and if you are 160 and under. The travel on the RRGS is short by comparison. I can only imagine the bottom outs. Those forks also limit your fender options because the mounting/strapping point is lower. It does look dope though.

The brembo will fit the NCY kit BTW..... with the right mount plate of course. I will fill you guys in after I get a few rides in on it.
