Default I did the F4i seat conversion from the banana seat to the double seats..

I have a 2004 f4i and I am doing a conversion to the split seats.. I got the 2 seats, a 2001 undertray, and a 2003 subframe, the rear pegs and rear cowl....
I have run into a few problems..
the negative battery wire is too short and will not reach the battery..it used to come in from the side of the battery tray on my 2004 tray but with the 2001 tray there is no opening on the side, the cable will not reach far enough to come into the opening of the tray..I am guessing I am like 3-4 inches short...

Also the wires have to be routed differently through the bike now so its kinda confusing me.. The thing that looks like a little speaker amp used to be on the right side of the bike attached to the subframe but now it goes on the left(figured that out), and the computer thingy that used to be on the left of my bike goes on top of the battery..

I am guessing the wiring harness might be a little different between the banana seat f4i and the dbl seat f4i's but I have never heard that mentioned before by people who have done the conversions.. heres where I am at so far..Also If you can help please talk in baby talk to me since I am not that handy with tools and parts

the 3rd problem is outlined in the picture below with a red circle and arrows, if I put those 2 rubber box things where they are supposed to go then the other wiring attached to it that runs to the blinkers tailight etc wont reach..I guess I could just use a cable tie and mount them further back toward the rear..
can somebody post pics of how theyre 2001-2003 is wired on the side?
heres a few pics

lol when i did the swap all i remember the same stuff. . i did get everything to fit but what i did was use a bunch of zip ties and just kinda made stuff work. the harness is infact a little differnt and there really isn't all that much you can do. i haven't had any problems ever since i did the swap (I even rode from Orlando, FL to NY, NY in a straight 14-15 hour jaunt with no hiccups).
