Default Relocated coil and ignition switch

I wanted to open up the space under the front cylinder on my 02 sporty where the coil is normally mounted. Built a bracket to mount the coil to the battery tray and bought some green ignition wires (to match the Rat Fink on the coil). Then relocated the ignition switch to the top motor mount bracket. I like the way it came out, wish I had done it earlier.
