Default Dyna Glide Coil Relocation Photos

I would like to see photos of relocated coils on Dynas.
I know of the DK relocation kit and have seen the photos in those threads but I would really like to see photos of other relocations.

Here is a sneak peak of mine. It isn't finished but will be close to this. It will be a little higher and stick out a little less then the DK kit.

I'm working on the metal for mine. I don't have any pics yet, but it's going in the electrical box.

I've read you can squeeze them into the backbone up by the neck gusset.

The backbone placement came from Pete at Rocket Bobs. The electrical box was my idea (AFAIK…I've never seen it anywhere else.)

Discrete, but... The coil needs air flow for cooling. In the electrical box without air flow I'd expect premature coil failure, especially in warmer temperatures...

My homemade coil bracket.
I know that it looks like a kindergarten art project but it will be behind a cover so no one will see it.
The coil is a little higher and a little closer to the engine then the DK kit. Also, the coil is turned around so the towers are even closer to the heads.
