Default 2007 coil on a 2006 Sportster

Hello,

I have a 2006 Sportster 1200 and looking to relocate the coil to next to the cylinders on the left side. I like the way the 2007 coils look when their relocated there. My question is will a 2007 coil work on a 2006 sportster? I know I'll need to change wiring, etc. I just need to know if a 2007 coil will function/operate the same on a 2006?

Thanks

If you switch over to a 4 wire plug. I can't see why this wouldn't work. But there is only one way to find out.
