Battery Question & Battery connections..!?!

Hello, in my sportster is the battery inside fries. Now I bought a new one, however I have the following problem. The old battery had when looking at it in driving direction the plus pole from the left side and the minus pole on the right side. With the new battery it is exactly the other way around, plus on the right and minus on the left side. Now I have the problem that my cables plus and minus are too short, could extend the cables which actually not in the sense of the If I turned the battery by 180° it would fit, but I can’t connect the cables like this. Do you have any idea or how did you solve that? Greetings Mr. Nesquik
