Default Relocated my coil
I was bored yesterday so I decided to relocate my coil to under the horn cover. Removing the seat post really cleaned up what I think is a design flaw by Harley in where they chose to mount the stock coil. It was very easy thanks to DUSTY2221's great how to write up. I didn't remount my horn as I just filled my tank and I'll wait until I put my powdercoated rocker box covers on for that. Here's some pics:

I got Taylor FXR wires and cut them to about 9" long.
