Put on a DK Customs coil/key relocation kit last night. Also did a wire tuck with no tank lift.

They're a big difference over the stockers. I still need to play with the air pressure a bit and see what setting I actually like. I'd ride it all day before, just not as comfortably. I find the air shocks made me notice how stiff the front is too. Oh well, its good for now. And while it is more comfortable, it's still not as comfortable as a touring bike or even my brother's Wid Glide. But Im ok with that. It is what it is.

Not at all. I just unbolted the front of the tank, lifted it up, removed all the plastic crap and relocated the coil and ignition to between the cylinders. After that I took the remaining wires and tightly wrapped them with electric tape. Then zip tied that tightly up against the underside of the backbone. Slipped the tank right back over and remounted the front. Works great and took about an hour. I'll try to get some close up pics tomorrow.

I love my lift! Got it cheap from Harbor freight! $500 lift for $300, I used a coupon from one of my Easy Rider magazines!

Are you going to move your plate up to the fender or just leave the side mount?



Here's a few pics of under my tank. You really can't see anything from the side of the bike unless you get down and look for it.
