Hey ezmo,

We have seen MANY coil & ignition relocation brackets break due to vibration. The harmonics our bikes create can cause the metal to fatigue and eventually fail.

We have also seen tank lift brackets fail.

If you look at our designs, they may seem a bit heavy/over engineered at first, but we have never had one fail.

Regarding the actual coil and ignition switch, there is no issue.

Thanks, DK! I am still weighing in between struts + spring seat or just a smaller seat like a Le Pera.
