I recently purchased the 1.5" tank lift, coil/ignition relocate and the "f6" option for the ignition. So I started by putting on the tank lift as it's the quickest it seemed. But now I'm a little nervous to dive into the coil relocate because I want to be able to tuck all the wires up under the tank so it's hidden. Is there any issues I should expect to run into while doing this or has everyone that's done it just pulled it apart and slapped it back together all tucked away with no major issues? I also am debating on removing the tank when I do this.. Is that something that's mandatory to do the wire tuck? Oh, it's on my xl1200v sportster. I'd say I'm smart enough to do this without any major issues I just don't want to get in there and mess something up on my brand new bike lol thanks in advance for any replies and help!!

 

Hey Chells,

Undo all of the stock bundling and electric tape the wires as flat against the frame as possible. Make sure nothing is snagging or too tight.

 

Hey again Chells,

I didn't realize i didn't fully answer your question.

Below is a link to a wire tuck step by step.

You can also go to you tube and search DK Custom wire tuck.

The wire tuck isn't complicated but, does take time and patience. It is always good to have 1-3 hours depending on how perfect you want it. You do not have to take the tank off but, it is actually better if you don't take it off and just prop it up.

Well thanks to DK Customs speedy shipping I got to get my add ons installed this weekend! 1.5" tank lift, coil relocate, flex six ignition relocate and wire tuck! It was all pretty easy to do. The wire tuck just took patience and a lot of YouTube videos lol
