Thanks everybody for the replies.

I did figure out where they were and the job is done now. I had to take apart the bloody rear fender to feed the wires out and back through again. And I swear I never found a battery harder to take out and put back in, not looking forward to the day I'll need to replace it...

I could have cut the wires and resoldered them, but I am not a big fan of patching things up if there is another way.

Anywho, here are some pictures of the finished job. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Now I just need to figure out how to chop/modify the givi back rack so I can add that too (unfortunately the two things are not compatible...)

That looks not bad Alex. I think that might be the way I'd go on the CB.

Looks good, Alex. Did the battery have a strap around it to help lift it out?

Yes it did, but it got stuck in the wires and it was a mess. I suspect that the previous owner moved things around and now it's a tighter fit than originally meant... or maybe it's just me being an idiot, who knows...

Anyway, I must say I quite like it too. I like the fact that the C brackets came in chrome, they look good even when the bags are not on. I thought they would come in black and that they wouldn't look the part...

I am glad you were able to salvage my salvage.

Glad you got it sorted. Keep that chrome clean and waxed. Mine got rust spots almost immediately
Still work fine, though.

Thats just because of all the rain.
