801curt has the best advice as I see it. The harness is sort of self supporting (I know there are some clips) so there is very little slack in the wires. When I have to work on mine now, I remove the radio grill and the speedometer first. I don't attempt to get my head under there because for me, that is too hard on the neck. Leaving the headlight switch dangling until the instruments are done will make life a lot easier.
