Hey Petes,
Those coils are Dyna brand 3.0 ohms (no ballast resistor needed). I've mounted one where the top coil usually goes. The remaining two are in the tool tray. I wondered whether or not the different length wires would be a problem. Several folks, mechanical sorts, told me that I'd have problems with my computer (none on the bike)or possibly my radio (I'm ridin, what do I need music for?).
Here's the reason: I recently installed a manual cam chain tensioner. I had my doubts about the instructions so I wanted to really check the tension on the chain. Here's what I had to do: I removed the fuel tank, I removed the cam cover. Total time: 20 minutes. Think about the shiite you'd have to remove with three coils in the stock locations. (I've previously removed all of the air injection trash.)
I forgot to mention. The bike romps!!!
Sorry Pete1958. Back to your topic. My other 1300 doesn't have that tray.
