Default Winter mods sneak peak

So my bikes been torn apart for a few weeks. Working on things here and there when I have time. The two big things I had to do was relocate the coil with the DK relocation kit and install black fat bob trees for a wide glide conversion. I got stuck on the trees because I didn't realize that the pinch bolts were different then the ones from an '06 mid glide. So I've got the new lower tree on and that's it. Gonna try and get new pinch bolts tomorrow. In the meantime I was able to get the coil relocated and finish all of the wiring. Here's a pic of that.

I love the blacked out look, and yours is particularly eye catching.

Nice I been wondering about that relocation kit. Can you take a picture of where the coil used to be?

Coil relocation looks nice and clean. Is it a pain to rout the other wires to it and keep it tidy?

It wasn't to bad to route the wires. The weather pack connectors that come with the kit are a little bulky but I made it work. I pulled that tank to make this and the triple tree swap I'm doing easier. Basically, one weather pack connector is tucked behind the coil and then the wiring runs straight up to the frame backbone and then down the frame. The other weather pack connector is back where the factory coil was and tucked behind the fuse panel. It came out clean and you can't even see the wiring. I'll snap some better pics later.
