So I've put a round oil tank on the night train. I want to place the coil in between it and the motor (removed fake seat post). I figured I'd just by a universal plug wire set and make my own, but what do ya know the stupid twinkies have a diffrent coil plug. Anyone ran into this? Can I just by a universal kit and reuse the stock twincam ends? Any help would be awesome thanks

 

I relocated my coil down by the splash gaurd so I couls take out the seat post in preparation for the round oil tank. I just got a local shop to make longer wires - he reused the plugs from my stock wires, so you can do it. You will only need to buy a suitable length of wire.

I did not make up the wires myself, so I don't know if there were any special tools for crimping them to the wires, but I shouldn't think so.



Have you got any pictures of the oil tank install? This is one of the next jobs on my list.

 

I did...
you need to use a flat head and needle nose pliers to get the old end off of your original wires and reuse them.
re-install them onto the new shorter wires.
also flip the two wires in the coil plug to make it so that the front wire is for the front cylinder/rear wire for the rear cylinder.
(Yellow w/ Blue tracer (C) and Blue w/ Orange tracer (D). "C" is the rear cylinder coil and "D" is the front cylinder coil.)

 

Yes, please post pics of the finished bike once the oil tank is installed. Sounds like something I may be interested in doing for the winter project(s).

 

Heres a couple of her mocked up. I've got it pc'd and back on just haven't got and pics of it. I guess thats what I'll do buy the universal and reuse the ends of my existing wires thanks

 

I like the set-up; but once its powder coated it'll hardly be noticed. Chrome or high polished stainless would be nice..just my 2 cents

 

Blacker the bear sweeter the juice...Friday..great movie. I pc'd it in gloss black not wrinkle it stands out enough for me.

 

Now what do you do with that big ugly mount sticking up where the center post was connected?

 

Thats where I've built a mount to put my coil. Some one did it and built a little box for it. Me, I'd hack it off it my coil wasn't goin there.

 

where did you get the tank and how much chee$e.
were the lines a pain...?
Love the round look
