unless you want to extend and test every single wire...
the only place it will really reach is down below the stock battery mounting position.

and even then its gonna take alot of harness splicing and re-wrapping, not to mention it will be exposed to water even more unless you make some kind of waterproof box for it.

what would you have to splice? why would you have to splice? i dont' understand..

are you transferring voltage of one wire to another wire?

also, it's much easier to extend the wires than splice them.

you dont have to splice the actual wires, u just splice the tape holding all the wires together and then figure out a way to re-run everything.

OP, yes i did it. check my thread. the links in my sig.

its still gonna be slightly visible.
if you want it completely out of sight then youll def need to extend wires.

this is as far/low as your gonna get it forward. you could always try moving it back under the Clutch Fluid Reservoir.
