Just kidding. It is to change the look of something we don't like into something we do like. I didn't like placement of the stock coil. I didn't like how it was closer to one cylinder, causing a need for one of the plug wires to be longer then the other. I looked at the D.K. relocation kit but I didn't like a couple of things about it and I wanted to make my own.

Yessir. I've got a bag of those adhesive backed zip-tie anchors that I'm hoping will keep them tight to the underside of the backbone. I still need to finalize the route into the box.

I might eventually get some 5mm wires and run them inside the backbone but that's gonna require pulling the engine and I didn't really want to dig that deep this year.

I guess the old saying goes, to each his own. I'm just not a big fan of this. I think it looks good where it is and if Harley thought any different they would've done it. But that's just my opinion.

Doing it is nothing new really.There are a ton threads from various forums on this. The goal is to de clutter the motor and usually the horn and coil are the worst offenders. Exile makes a kit that works for softails. DK makes one that kinda changes it up a bit. Ive see guys cut a slot in the spine and stuff it in in there..I'm a fan when its done right.
