Winch wiring on same side as exhaust ok?

Hey all,
2007 Rancher 420. Just got my winch and looks like the motor is going to be on the LEFT side of the machine. My main winch wires (goes from winch back to actuator) are BARELY long enough to reach if I route them along the left frame. I'd like to go along the right frame, but too short. My concern is that the exhaust is on the left side. Am I worrying for nothing? There are some other wires and components along that side of the frame and seem to be ok.
If the wires were longer, I'd just route along the right side...but then again, longer wires present problems of their own.

Of you guys out there with 420's...what side of the machine is your winch wiring on?
Thanks in advance!
Randy

Something else to consider, as the wiring gets "warmer" it increase it's resistance which won't let your winch perform as well on hot days.
I've got to check mine. I installed it a couple of months ago. Imagine if the wiring rubbed through.
