Default Another take on coil relocation.
Here is what a buddy did for the cover on his coil reliocation. That is the stock coil cover. I am not sure what eh had to do to make it all work, but I think it looks great.

The horn can be mounted on the front of the frame or under the tank. A little ingenuity goes a long way.

I don't think he has put it back on yet. I am a bad influence on those around me.

That came out sweet...really clean job. I like how he ran the wires from the top instead of the bottom...nice short shot to the top of the jugs.

Looks killer with that seat post gone, really cleans up the bike.

Strong Work Indeed!

The Rocker has two short plug wires. Could possibly use a stainless set listed for one on that setup.
