Default ignition relocation

I have figured out the drag specialties bracket I bought. The reason for the bracket is a change to a sport bob tank. Theres one bracket to move the ignition cylinder to the left side of the motor and the coil bracket actually stays in the same place as the factory one but with enough clearance to the tank. I am still gonna have to elongate the holes in the bracket to get the coil up off the rocker box. It is way too close. However I do like the idea of the coil to the side for easier access to wires . This is a 2002 model and the older solid mount bikes have a bulky motor mount right there that takes up a lot up space and not sure how to mount coil without it looking cluttered.
