Default Tank lift and wire tuck

Need some advice on tank lift and wire tuck for my 2015 xl883r. I have seen the videos on how to do it. But I haven't seen any with the keyless fob. Any issues or differences in installation?? Do I need do relocate coil? How does that affect keyless start??? HELP

There shouldn't be any difference between keyless and keyed.
Nothing regards your bike being keyless will be affected including your starting concerns as you have a Canbus bike and this works in a considerably different way electrically to earlier Sportsters. As long as you don't go cutting any wires that is!

Relocating the coil is for cosmetic purposes as it looks a bit strange when you've lifted the tank. So you don't have to relocate it but moving it isn't that big of a job and looks way better.

Just saw the Dynatek coil pack yesterday, they go where most bikes have the horn on the left side of engine. I believe they are from DK and look good. Havent priced them yet with the Thunder Volt plug wires.

Here is a really good thread on doing a wire tuck. It is good info for keyed or keyless, for tank lift or no tank lift.

You can email us at the addy below and we can send you a PDF on the instructions that go with a Coil Relocation if you'd like.

There is no difference. I have a 2'' tank lift and coil relo from DK on my 48 and I have a keyless FOB.
