Looking Good Tyler! Probably a better set up than mine and your mounting method give the coil cores a closed loop.

I was curious if there was an issue isolating the cores? Obviously your bike runs fine with coils attached to a plastic tray.
On that note I would replace the tool tray, but $100 for a little plastic tray is clinically insane...

Hi Tyler,
Since that picture was taken I did ground the cores but that was just to feel good the bike ran fine with them isolated.

Nice meticulous work there Mister. Nothing wrong with making mods when you put that kind of effort in to it. Nice to see the young guys going the extra mile to do it right. Kudos to you.

Thanks Kawboy,
I really hate poor wiring mods, some of the most frustrating work I've done on cars and motorcycles has been fixing somebody else's wiring debacle.
I really enjoy doing things like this the right way...
