Default coil harness ??

i relocated my coil months ago with a homemade bracket. well i didnt use steel and it broke. i have since mounted it a different way but i would like the coil to face the opposite direction. has anyone ever swaped the wires in the coil harness to allow the front plug to run off the back coil location? pics would be great. thanks for the help.

Are you talking about rotating it so the plugwires come out the front? If so you may want to rethink that if you ever ride in the rain...

they are sealed so i dont think water is going to affect it. have had it mounted that way but with longer wires. i have since installed wires from a rocker C and they are too short now.
