HD's "Grenade" Starter Coil
Anyone know whether the starter coil featured in the image below is available for purchase somewhere? I was at my local HD shop the other day and noticed several of the bikes sporting these. I would love to ditch the horn and go lean with something like this for my '09 fxdf.

This style got brought up a while ago, you can read about it here. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...nd-coil-2.html
It doesn't say where you can buy the grenade shape, but there is a lot more that goes into getting the coil relocated there.

This coil is wired differently for the Softail electrical system. I tried to get help on how to wire it so it would work on the Dyna with no results. I would like to see this happen!

Yeah I saw that when I looked into it yesterday after reading this thread. 4 pins instead of 3. I wonder if it would work if you just didn't wire that fourth one. Its for ISS but I'm not clear on what exactly that does andd how it would affect the performance of the coil.

If all you're looking to do is clean up the bike why not go with DK Customs coil and horn relocation kits?

The "Grenade" coil (#31684-08) has a resistance of 0.3-0.5 Ohms whereas my '09 FXDF requires 0.5-0.7 Ohms. So this coil is not compatible.
In response to some of the thoughts offered up here... The DK Customs coil relocation kit doesn't look aesthetically pleasing to me. Also, I'm trying to get rid of the center console which requires the relocation of the ignition switch and DKC's kit doesn't have space for this while other setups do.
