07 Night Train Coil Relocation
07 Night Train Coil Relocation
i'm thinking about moving my coil to the center of the jugs, where the stock horn is located.
I'm thinking this is pretty straight forward:
- move coil
- crossover "fire" signal wires on the coil as the towers need to swap positions in order to fire the correct cyl. Or I could cross over the plug wires, which will look stupid.
- get custom equal length plug wires
am i missing something?

You have to splice in a length of wire to lengthen the "other plug" that goes INTO the coil.
Though... you still have to find a place for your tooter....
I had a bolt hole in the frame from where the stock pipes came off just before the swingarm, so I made a tab and dropped my horn in there.
You have to be standing right next to the bike and looking down and in on the frame to even see it.
Hiding the coil inside the horn cover is a freakin rubiks cube of trouble though. Go with the standard coil cover unless you are a masochistic glutton for punishment.
One more thing.... as an added bonus you get to remove that freakin bar from between the cylinder and oil tank.
Gives it a roomier look... to me anyway.

Hey guys! Thanks for the tips. I really want to remove that huge mounting bracket. that's one of my motivations, haha.
Chuck do you have any close ups of your coil? How'd you re-mount ii? I was just going to attach it to the horn bracket somehow, but I'm not sure how yet. And no cover, just gonna leave it exposed...
Thanks again guys, good to see you too...

Het tx outlaw, when you removed your seat brace in front of the oil bag did it effect your stability of the frame?

here's the lasy pic i have of it.... late summer.
Just put the pipes on, but hadn't tightened them up. Now they are straight and together....
This is actually an older shot before I did the front fender:
New additions: Carlini 1.5" T-Bars, black of course. I bought a Cross Bones spoked rear wheel and a new set of Metz 880's, 210 rear. haha Pics this spring.

Randy - bike is looking good! I bought a kit off the 'net, but apparently that company has bellied-up. Wouldn't be difficult to make a small bracket using the mount off the seat post.
I haven't had any issues with removing the seat post.
Thanks imboden! Good to see you too! Hope all is well with ya.
