1991 FLT conversion ignition module location
I have removed front fairing from my 1991 Tourglide and installed a FLHS narcelle. On Tourglide the ignition module bolts onto support for fairing (which has to be removed to use FLHS front end parts). My manual says on FLHS it fastens to left side of steering head on frame. How does it attach. My frame has no holes in it at side of steering head for ignition module screws, only two large holes were Tourglide fairing support bolted to frame. Any help or PICTURES would be appreciated. Thanks!!

My after market Crane Hi 4 Single fire ignition has integral module in the cam housing cone. Heard they moved it later due to heat problems but mine's been fine for 5 yrs. now and about 30K miles.
Just zip tie that module anywhere in the Nacelle or fork neck where it's not chaffing on wiring or beating itself against frame, fork tube, etc. No requirment for them to be hard mounted and probably better to let it float vibration wise.

This thread and taboo picture post saved me hours.
I am replacing my stock ignition with a single-fire unit on my '91 FLHT electraglide (trying). This calls for replacing the ignition module. The instructions in my manual (Clymer) suggested that the outer and inner faring need to be removed to get to the module.
After finding this thread and observing the photo posted by Taboo80 I was able to remove the module without removing the faring. A simple 5/16"socket with a 1/4 " drive did the trick. THANKS TABOO80 you likely saved me 4 or more hours. I immediately registered and am making this post.
I am posting two photos showing the module from a point of view behind the faring, gas tank removed, looking into the inner faring area next to the steering column. I hope these photos are useful to others.

The module that Taboo80 and tridox have in the pictures are on a plate.
The plate has two small studs that are used to hold the module in place.
It is attached using the bolts through the frame.
