One, the rear wires are extremely tight. No extra length. What I did was take the seat off and you will see the cable dive into the rear fender. I tapped in there and ran parallel wires. To do that, I had to pull the wheel off. Second, I would use LEDs and if you can put up with the fast flashing, which I like, you won't be adding to the Wattage total on your bike, which is important. I am not sure if the part some vendors sell with it to slow the fast flashing uses Watts or not. If you use too many watts, you can melt a plastic part inside the ignition (learned the hard way). They do make a tap that you can put around the wire, and then another on the end of the turnsignal wire, then plug one into the other. They are smaller. I tried them on the back first, but they only lasted about 6 months. So when I did the second bike, I ran the longer wire from under the seat.
