Default Relocating the coil

Hello all. So I've seen a few pics of relocating the coil to where the horn is. I really like the cleaned up look. Is there a kit or bracket that you need to do this or is it kind of a make it yourself type of thing? After some searching I can't seem to come up with much. It a 98 fsxts btw. Thanks

I've seen enough of them like that. There has to be a kit for it. Try the usual suspects like J&P, etc.

Site sponsor d&k customs. Careful, your seat post is integral to the frame not like the 2000+ models.
Post some after pix, I've always wanted to do this!

If your wallet allows it you can maybe switch over to single fire ignition/coils, they look sweet !!!!

Default I used the DK Customs coil relocation kit and moved my horn under my seat.

Don't have a pic but the fender got ugly real quick.

I guess some people like stock Harleys... I guess the reflectors are a Harley trademark too. But, in my opinion, owning a Harley is all about modifying it and making it your own. Nothing is off limits... as long as it has a high torque loud growling motor and 2 wheels... it's a Harley.
