"Cowbell" & coil relocation
"Cowbell" & coil relocation
As usual, one project leads to another.....
I switched out my headlamp to lose the "eyebrow". Which, lead to a tank lift due to all the dang wiring hidden in there. The tank lift obviously left the coil staring me in the face....
I really did not care to lose the cowbell. I know many of you prefer to lose it, though after riding metrics for so many years, the cowbell was a more than welcome sign that I had graduated.
So, in my search for a coil relocation allowing for bell to remain, this is the route I went. I wish I could claim "rights" to this, but must admit I cannot. I saw a picture of the finished product of the following relocation. I did search after search on HDF and could not find it here so I thought I would share.
had to file down the corners of the coil housing to fit in the bell
cut the original mounting bracket
drilled a hole to fasten the coil assembly to the bell
went to the local auto parts and grabbed a "DIY plug wire kit"
final product
This project cost about $20= plug wire kit and a 1/4-20 bolt for fastening the coil to the bell.
Also, I can fully depress the enricher without having to moving it.
