coil wireing
I took the coil off of my 2000 1200 sportster to relocate down to the left side where the horn was originally. When I removed the two wires from the coil, the red and the white ones I marked on the coil which went where. In all the fabrication of the bracket and handling of the coil my marks rubbed off. Does it make any difference in where those two wires go? I know it is a duel fire system and the plug wires will go to either plug, but what about the other two wires. My coil doesn't seem to have any markings like + or - on it or anything else that would indicate that it makes a difference. Thanks for putting up with my stupid questions but this is my first Harley since my 59 pan years ago. A lot of things have changed.........LOL

white (white & black) wire to front cylinder, red (pink) wire to rear cylinder. Coil polarity doesn't matter so run your plug wires on whatever side works best and wire that plug's pole accordingly.
Thanks .......thats the info I needed.
No, you'll be fine. The only problem you would experience is if you pull one plug wire off, or somehow develop an intermittent failure in the main side plug wire, the other wire won't fire. Basically, you won't have to diagnose whether it's a plug or a wire. A bad plug will be a misfire and a bad plug wire will stop it from running altogether. But that's only if it's reverse from stock.
