What I'm going to do with my wiring, since I wired custom duals is make sure all my connectors are tight, wrap it into a semi-tight bundle, and wrap the whole damn thing in electrical tape (Probably put saran wrap on it first, so the wires don't get all sticky if/when I need to remove the tape).

I had a Barracuda rear for about 2k miles ... very hard compound ... you can lock up the back tire and it won't make a noise . They also SUCK in damp conditions ... even right after the fog clears , it's real easy to slide the rear-end .... the closest I ever came to going down  :o

My friend got a free set of Metzeler M-1's because they had been Armor-All'd and the squid wrecked his bike.  I wouldn't have put them on my bike for anything, but he got them scrubbed by carefully riding them to the edge where they were still a little shiny.

As far as covering up the wiring, if you're only talking about the stuff behind the headlight, I'd make an alluminum plate and put it behind your gauges to cover up the mess. Polished, annodized, body color or dimond plate would all look pretty good and alluminum is easy to work with.

If you're talking about wired extending out and allong the frame, you could slide some braided stainless hose over it for some bling and protection.

If you want to go low key, I'd recomend heat shring whenever possible over ellectrical tape.

What kind of headlight is that and where did you get it? I just searched for a Cyclone headlight and couldn't find anything. It looks really slick.

Ebay , but i looked on there , and i have a feeling he's stopped selling them , and the only place , as he made them was Thailand , so im not sure if any more will be about, what im gonna go i think , it cut and drill the headlight mounts , and tuck it close to the yoke , i wanted to do it anyways , but as ive removed the stock clocks, the gap looks even bigger,

Hmm

Just keep looking on ebay dude
