Default Relocation

Just got done relocating my ignition and coil. Put the coil in the horn box and moved the key by the seat

Just relocated mine last week; I did get new cables though (not pictured). I considered the seat location and the swing arm as well. Mounted above the coil on the old horn mount felt better (was afraid to beat my thigh up on the key in the seat location and the swing arm felt too inconvenient).

Now just need to find a way to make that god awful coil block look less of an eye sore lol (any suggestions would be appreciated for those who have been there/done that) Looks like you used the horn cover to cover yours?

Looks great, very clean. If those keys are touching your oil tank they'll destroy the paint very quickly. Looks like it's close, just thought I'd give you a heads up in case.

Thanks for the heads up, I did have one of those rounded head keys made in case I ever lose my keys and it works out better, doesn't stick out as much

Didn't use dk customs, made a small bracket that bolts to the horn cover, had to strip some of the wiring harness cover to let me move the coil wire to connect it back to the coil, fairly easy. The horn cover is big enough to hold the coil.
