I'm relocating my coils on my nightster to the left side of the engine... I HAVE a manual, but just to confirm, it looks like the two mounting bolts (bolts for the side mounted horn bracket) only serve the purpose of mounting the bracket to the motor correct? I know it's a stupid question but I'd rather ask first then start unscrewing things and end up cracking seals or something like that.

Thanks!

Those dont hold the head on, and Yes you can mount a bracket to it for horn or coil....

 

thanks pal

 

I bought longer bolts from the dealership. The stock bolts on the nightster are just there to fill the holes. Bikes with the horn bracket stock have longer bolts. About 1/2 inch longer I think.

 

The bolts that are there just filling the holes are pleanty long enough to hold a thin metal bracket. I made a bracket out of 1/8 in. aluminum and everything mounted fine.

great thanks for the confirmation... I had my torx bit in hand and thought I'd better ask (even though I ultimately knew the answer).

My bracket is 1/4" so we'll see if there is enough length to bolt it on there.

thanks again!
