I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to mechanical/electrical work, but anyways---have to learn sometime.
Some of you may know that installing the Givi PLX360 side cases requires the turn signals to be moved backwards, and this is a problem because the wiring needs to be elongated. Apparently, some people have managed to bypass that by drilling some holes in the fender, but unfortunately I can't find the pictures.
I had a look back there, and I wasn't sure what was the best way to attempt to elongate the wires was. Here are two photos.
The second photo showing the inside of the bulb container is hard to see, but basically there's little chance you can cut the wires within the container. You have to cut the wire from outside the container. Outside the container, the wires (I think two of them) are within a black rubber tubing. I'm not sure what's the best way of proceeding.
Do I just snip the black tubing haphazardly from underneath the bike? Or should I try and unbolt more things and access the wiring from deeper. I've not 'opened' the bike past this, so I'm not sure where the wiring goes.
