I know this has been done before but I usually do this my own way so here goes.

I started out by trying to determine which chrome motor mount would fit my bike.

I tried a mount from V-Twin that they said fits my bike but it DOES NOT!


The books said up to 05 mount fit my bike but they all had the choke mount. My bike is fuel injection so I did not need this. The 06 and up mount without the choke mount appeared to be the same but no one could confirm. I bit the bullet and ordered it form JP Cycles. This mount does fit an 05. Link below:

I like all my hardware to be 12 Point Show Polished SS so an order from Alloy Bolts was made. I also purchased a coil relocation kit from DK Customs.




It should be noted that I already have a 2 inch tank lift installed. I remved the rear tank bolt and dash bolt. Removed the fuel line from the tank and raised the tank with a socket.


Next was a trial fit for the chrome motor mount. Here I noticed a couple issues. 1-the bolt orientation had to be changed because the nut on the right was hitting the fuel line. 2- I probably should have went with 12 point hardware and standard nut on the bottom. If I have to make another order I may change these bolts.


Here you will notice the bolt orientation is changed and the coil wiring is being lengthened.


I am not showing all the soldering on the coil end but it was done using the same technique. After soldering the extension on the coil plug I fished the wires from front (new coil area) to under the seat using a 2 ft heating and air zip tie. These are very handy for fishing wires. I always spit on the wires also as this helps them glide through. Once the plug end was done I pulled everything as far as I could under the seat then soldering the wires. Once finished I pulled the wires back forward so the soldered and heat shrunk wires went back into the factory wire conduit so it looks factory.


I am using the newer style coil cover that does not fit an 05 or lower coil. I had to modify my coil extensively for this. Not everyone is willing to do this so proceed with caution and at your own risk. I used a dremel to cut off the top cover and a grinder to shape the rest of the coil to fit inside the newer style cover. Everything is encased in gel so I can see no ill effects. I've been running this cover like this in the stock location for several years.




Here is the inside of the coil showing my Boogie Lights Fireworks LED strips.


Because the cover does not fit my coil some additional mods had to be done. 3 ss lock washers were perfect spacers. Note the coil cover bracket goes on first then the mounting bracket.


This is the final assembled coil and cover. I found it easier to assemble everything as I went as opposed to mounting everything and installing the cover. Again, this is due to the cover not fitting my coil.


I found that the bolts were too long and hit the jugs. This is due to the coil modofications. They to be shortened with a dremel cut off wheel.


Here is everything mounted up and zip tied. A neat install.



I tapped the bracket to accept a 10/24x1/2 ss allen head bolt.


Now for the horn.
I purchased an HD Sporster Loud Horn Kit Part Number 69000007.

I also purchased a horn cover from JP Cycles.
http://www.jpcycles.com/product/ZZ36145

This cover is supposed to fit this horn but it does not fit without modification. The cover fits up to a 3 1/4" horn which is what this one measures. However, the horn is too large. The inside snap tabs had to be cut down with a dremel for the cover to snap on. Then the inside of the cover was touching the horn so it would not work without sounding muffled. I used a heat gun to carefully heat the plastic cover enough to push it out.
I do not have picture of this but it should be self explanatory. When the cover snapped on it was so tight I didn't want to pull it off unless absolutely necessary.

The wiring was lengthened withe solder and heat shrink. Then the horn was mounted. I used a 5/16-18x 1 1/4" bolt with two nuts on the back as a spacer. This placed the horn in the perfect location. Then a ss lock nut and acorn nut holds the horn on.



I am not quite done as my ignition wires form Magnum are still on order. Once everything is finished and cleaned up I will post some complete pictures.

 

Lots of work!

Turned out looking very nice!

 

Thanks! When I do something I want it right. I think the small details make the difference. Once I get everything done and cleaned up I'll send you guys some pictures.

 

Pictures would be great! Looking forward to them.

Yep, it is all in the details. All big things are just a bunch of little things put together.

Your bike is a classic example of everything flowing together nicely because of the attention to detail.

 

Thanks for the update HeavenlyHarley, nice job!

Your efforts support the idea that there are very few coil cover options. I really like the coil relocations, but adding interest to the coil is tough. Looking forward to the final pics.

 

I agree. I think some good replacement covers would do well. I suppose the stock location would limit custom covers but relocating it opens up the options.
Take note DK Customs! I would think it would substantially increase your relocation kit sales plus the new covers (assuming they're cool ) would almost certainly sell in addition or part of the kits. It's a win win for you.

 

Over half of the coil relocation kits purchased from us end up on bikes with one of the Harley Coil covers. A significant amount of the development of our coil relo for Softails and Dynas is the in the part that allows any HD coil cover to be installed with our relo.

That little U-shaped bracket that is part of the kit may not look like much, but is has some complex bends in it, in very tight tolerances so that a cover can be attached quite simply.

What you did is great, and the results are fantastic.

However, 99.99% of the bikes are running the stock coil, and can use any of the various covers that are made by HD to fit their coil.

Would we like to make some cool coil covers to add to the choices that already exist?...Yes. But the cost for making them in the USA is prohibitive when compared to the cost of all the ones made overseas.

 

Do you have a kit for the grenade coil setup on the Breakout?

 

I don't understand your question. On the Breakout the coil is already located on the left side of the engine.

If you wanted to get a "standard" coil from HD, then out Coil Relo Kit will mount up that coil on the left side of the engine where your current grenade coil is.

You will need to do something with the ignition switch.

Feel free to give us a call if you would like to discuss exactly what you'd like to do.

 

It would be expensive, no doubt, and the market is likely to small. (?) I found two coil covers that fit my slim, both HD, and neither one is styled for the bike. Aftermarket covers are out there, but they don't fit the slim. I have a solution mocked up that will work for my setup and maybe provide some inspiration DK.
