Default My Coil Relocation & Ignition Relocation...

I decided to give it a shot. I used a bracket off the stock aircleaner on a Big Twin. We have tons laying around work and this time of year its slow for us so I decided to tinker with it. Heres the results. Im obviously painting the bare metal!!

As for the wire tuck, horn & ignition relocation...I cut all the connectors (left enough wire just incase...you never know). I put all connectors that can be disconnected for trouble shooting purposes, that shrunk the harness down dramaticly. Then I took some 3/4'' wire loon and taped it so it looks somewhat stock. I dont know if im quite happy with the wire loom situation, but I have all winter to fine an alternative.

Im going to be re painting it this winter also...

Heres mine... Sorry for the quality of the pictures, Cell phone pictures. The haze on all the chrome is some polish!!

Good idea Yatez,cleans it up quite a bit.What header is that and how does it hang on the collector end.Was thinking of using the RBR challange pipe but I kinda like the length on that one.

Theres a bracket that goes to about the rear sprocket for the muffler. I work at a dealership and that was the easiest and best fitting system ive put on as of yet. Maybe I got lucky, anyone ive talked to has had awesome luck with that system, and it sounds incredible!

Is heat going to be an issue with the coil mounted there?

Nope. It sticks out far enough for the air to get to it. It was buried under the tank above the front cylinder before?
