Default Coil relocation w/o ignition relocation

Hey y'all.... Has anyone done the coil relocation and left the ignition in the stock location? I like the idea of relocating the coil and doing the wire tuck, but like the stock ignitio location being near the fork lock. Or any other ideas of good locations to put the ignition? I'm not a big fan of it behind the rear cylinder or on top of the relocated coil. Thanks for the input

Like this? I did the coil relocation with out relocating the ignition. You will have to chop the stock coil bracket because it is all one piece with the bracket for the ignition built in, or at least that's how it is on my 2012 48. It is pretty easy and only took a few minutes with my angle grinder.



Here are a few pics of the cut bracket.







And one more for the overall look.

I did exact same on my 07 1200C. Easy stuff. A little scary cutting the stock part, because there's no going back... but I'm happy I did.

Thanks bowhunter, that's exactly what I was thinking. Looks really good! Do you have a picture of the other side by any chance? Appreciate it!
