Default Rocker Hand Grenade Coil Replacement

There have been a couple of requests for the info on the replacement of the ugly hand grenade coil on the Rocker. Here are some pics and the info. It was actually the tech's idea at the local Harley shop, JD, so I give him all the credit. It turned out really nice and there are a ton of cool coil brackets out there (might be replacing mine in a year). Sorry for the indoor shots:

Close up #1


Close up #2


I believe any single coil <1 ohm will work. I have two .7 ohms (DC9-4) from Dynatek and they work great. They were also blue so I didn't have to use the coil cover I bought from DK (although when the bike goes in for paint, that may change)

Here are the links for everything:

Twin Coils:
http://www.dynaonline.com/skins/prod...es/Dyna_Coils/
Click on the buy products tab

Coil Bracket:
https://www.axiomcycles.com/pages/it...temsection=219
Again, there are a TON of really cool brackets out there you just have to search for them. This one worked for me.

Coil Cover:
http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/produc...fCatId=&mmyId=
I really lucked out because the default .7 ohm coils are blue

Motor Mount:
Don't have an actual website for it, but the tech put a 2000-2006 Softail EFI mount on there. Doing a quick search, here is an all in one package. The disclaimer is that he did say he had to slightly modify it.

Custom Wires:

They also make to order for the stock Rocker. I'm trying to find a replacement for the black ends and can't find anything. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the information El Gato Grande and the extra assistance you gave me finding the coil mount I was looking for! I have all the parts I need ordered to do the conversion, now I am just waiting for them to get here.

Thanks for all the info, Big Cat! I am in the process of getting the stuff together as well. (Don't worry, I won't copy ya, I'll change it up a bit) Definitely a huge improvement over the stock setup! Well done!
