Dan, is there a reason you didn't go with this type of rear light setup? There is no issue with the wires on this as I have been running this on my WR ever since I dual sported it.

This one was $4 shipped from El China. I had it laying around from another project. I don't expect this one to last very long.
That style is what I'll end up with, most likely. -BIG DAN
That's what I run on my Husky, add flush mount signals and you are good to go.
BIGDAN the first thing that goes wrong is the weight on the stock fender... can sometimes fold down on a jump and tear the shit out of everything when the tire catches your screws or wires.
I have tried a half dozen of those tail pieces... this is the best one so far... adds strength to the fender and costs very little.
Made by Polisport... and only $22 at RMATV

Have a couple of them in the garage... you can check it out next time you are over.

Any cash you can keep in my pocket is appreciated too... let me know if you run into any cash trees in your travels. 
F'n kiss ass Jeff
I know you prefer the feller to face you... but my throat isn't as accommodating as yours. 
Sounds like you know your side of the equation from experienceI know you prefer the feller to face you... but my throat isn't as accommodating as yours.
I have yet to confirm your hypothesis to my side...........yet
You say that like you're about tooSounds like you know your side of the equation from experience
Wow, you actually caught on to that bit of sarcasmYou say that like you're about too
Was it the "yet" part
I check in every now and again here, I like it, alot.
Little update.
Found a video on YT about a good dirtbike battery (non-starter)... Well, turns out I work with the kid everyday.

Anyway, 2 years later, these batteries are still going strong and stay charged for months. I was sold.
Here I have made my own Test Prototypes. 3 ten cell 2.5Ah 12v batteries
Wired in parallel, 7.5 Ah for any emergency lighting situations. Weighs only 19 oz. in total.
Bird's nesting it in the hood.
Installed the horn, it's really loud.
Doesn't look too bad.
So, I am waiting for my headlights and the final modifications to this hood before I paint it.
I am waiting for my Regulator Rectifier so I can operate the bike (slight chance of a headlight ticket) around town during daylight hours.
