You should be able to buy an ignition module that consolidated into one unit located inside the nose cone (basically it eliminates the external module).

I used a setup like this from Crane for a Sportster custom build...

I might be mistaken on the name of the part.

Is the box under the seat that goes up the rear fender a Ignition module ? or is it something else ??

Hey Dave
I relocated mine on top of the battery. Pushed it all the way
in the front and positioned my battery cables on top of the
box to secure it down.

Thanks for the reply's...

TwoWheel, I tried looking for the part but no luck.... What part name should I be looking for ? I'll keep on looking...


Crazy.. I tried your way but the seat that I have now wouldn't allow me ?? If you ever get a chance, would you take a pic of how you have it done....


Thanks, Again...

Dave,

This is what I used:

http://www.cranecams.com/index.php?s...lvl=5&prt=2084

"HI-4 Single Fire Performance Ignition. - A performance ignition for the serious race or street performance enthusiast that demands the best in function and reliability. This ignition allows fine tuning to match the ignition requirements for race or street use. The entire unit fits in the nose cone with no inconvenient external module."

Of course, that was for an Evolution Sportster, so they may not make the same unit for the Twin Cam...

I used a V-Rod battery which is shorter. The space it freed up is where I relocated the module.
