UPDATE:
I zip-tied the offending wires away from the vertical U-shaped "tunnel" that the tank drops down into as much as possible, and filed a U-relief at the front of the tank to help it drop down past the headset plastic shield. Got it in, but that clearance at the front hold-down bolt should've been thought thru a little more at the design stage. This is my first Euro bike after a lifetime of Hondas & Suzukis (except for that Cagiva back in '88), and while I love it, the Jap bikes still rule AFAIK regarding ease of maintenance.
Thanks for the input, I'm gettin' there...
