Yes Sportster coils tend to mount off of the same bolt as the front of the tank bolt. Not quite sure when that started but it can be relocated but may require a new bracket either bought of just fabricated.

Until I pass safety, I'll keep things as original as possible. no relocation for now.

When I look up pictures on google, 99% of the time the bike is 8 feet away.
