So how did you route your power/accessory auxiliary wires from the battery to the fly screen thru the engine compartment area????

I would like to bring them up the left side of the frame below the ignition coil....any problem with that?????? then to the point where the rest of the wires are routed into the fly screen on the left side.

Pull the base of your airbox off (make sure not to damage the intake seals). That way you can see the stock harness. I ran mine along the stock harness.

I also wrapped my wires in thermal shrink wrap to give an additional layer of insulation.

You can do that by doing that?

Some intake leaks have been caused by the handling while taking the base and intake trumpet off.

I just used extra care.
