A coil relocation paired with a tank lift is one of the best mods you can do aesthetically to your Harley. In this second video of the Tank Lift/Wire Tuck/Coil Relocation series, I show you how begin the wire tuck and relocate your coil between the heads on the left side of the engine.

Job well done... you keep making my type of changes on the Iron.

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

Thanks, man! I ain't finished yet! Lots more modding fun to come!

@xATHOMIx 6 лет назад

I've done the Coil relocation on my 2014 48 last weekend. Did it without the tank lift but your video helped a lot, thanks !

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

It's a great mod! I'm glad the video helped out.

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Looking forward to seeing the final product! I wish I had a garage! I'd have to invest in some sort of heater though..lol

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

Ron C Thanks Ron! I'm editing the final video tonight and it'll be uploaded Monday morning. Thanks for sticking around and watching. The garage is nice, but it is cold. I'm so ready for winter to be over.

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Same here...I used to enjoy the colder weather, but nowadays I just don't....too many outdoor hobbies!

@ManosGS-ru3sg 4 года назад

How many Nm tightening at 11:30? Does the relocation kit comes with manual about this kind of details?

@BulldogBadger 5 лет назад

Looks great, I definitely want to do this but not sure im confident to split and relocate the loom.. maybe start off with a couple of less invasive mods first

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

It looks complicated, but it's actually pretty easy. Give 'er a try. I think it looks great on Sportsters.

@BulldogBadger 5 лет назад

Thanks! I have a list ready and always have a couple of good friends I call on if stuck, just priced up the lift and relocation kits and its super reasonable even if I ship the parts over from DK customs, I’m still looking for a place here in the UK that does similar but not found anywhere yet, I have however found the led lights for the turn signals that just plug and play and I think they give a lot of bang for your buck

@veins101 5 лет назад

I have a feeling that the orange piece is to insulate the coil from the heat conducted through the bracket... totally negated it...

Excelent work dude, I´m doing the same rigth now... and I have a dubt! Can you tell me the torque value of that two bolts? (minute 11:20) I can´t find this one´s on the service manual. Really thank you!

@GreatEgret 2 года назад

Thanks man! It’s really low for these two torx bolts. 10 - 13 ft/lbs (~14 - 17 Nm). Coincidentally I’m doing this on another Sportster this week.

@edgarfigueroa6805 4 года назад

Just did it to my 2016 Roadster you really don't need to take the tank off. Took me about 45 minutes to do.

@GreatEgret 4 года назад

I know, but it sure as hell made the full tank lift start to finish job easier. Plus the video on removing the tank is one of the most viewed on this channel. When you're shooting videos in the garage, it takes a hell of a lot longer to do the job. Speed is the last thing I'm thinking about. If you're just talking about the coil relocation, well yeah, you don't need to remove the tank. This video is part of a five video tank lift series.

@FbombBikeLife 4 года назад

On my 883 my choke is on the left. Can i relocate the egnition on the right side?

@moneyfilters8706 4 года назад

Just a question does it matter which spark plug wire goes were .. ?? Will it malfunction if wires are put on wrong order as long as it fits

@GreatEgret 4 года назад

It does matter. The pistons need to fire in order and each are timed with a specific coil. Listen to the engine. That iconic potato potato potato sound are the pistons firing in the correct order. Mix them up and your timing will be off.

@moneyfilters8706 4 года назад

@@GreatEgret how would i find out if i put it on wrong order ? Will the motorcycle start even if the order is wrong ?

@GreatEgret 4 года назад

@@moneyfilters8706 the right coil plugs into the rear head and the left coil plugs into the front head.

@@GreatEgret i understand that , but the question is does it matter if you use front spark plug wire for rear and rear one for front.. i am not talking about crisscrossing the wires.. i disconnected both wires from the coil and spark plug , now i don't know which wires goes in the front and which one in the rear..🤦 both wires are same length too..🤦

Nice vid, I think working around a tripod makes things much more difficult. Again good job!

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

Thanks again, Tony! This series is the first that I've uploaded in "how to" style. Note that I said "uploaded." I've recorded a few in the past, but one thing or another technologically went wrong where uploading would do a disservice to anyone watching. I learned a lot doing these. For this one, I learned that I need to organize my garage because I'll have a lot more videos in the garage coming up. Looking forward to seeing what you've got coming up on Tuesday.

What are torque spec...for bolts on motor

@davidcheney5511 6 лет назад

You can convert foot lbs to inch pounds and vice avers-a by multiplying and dividing by 12

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

True, but my foot lbs torque wrench doesn't go below 1 ft lb and I don't own an in lb torque wrench.

@pawelklaman1900 6 лет назад

Hi, great to see you working on your mods yourself. I'm looking forward to do mods on my Iron, in a month or two. Just not sure if you did the right thing relocating this orange peace to the back of the mounting bracket. It looks to me as an heat isolation preventing coil from engine heat coming to it thorough the bracket. But I might be wrong. Good luck

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching! Hmm, I had it seated on the front and it was exposed on the outside. Which didn't look good seeing the orange. So seating it on the engine side made sense. I believe it actually is used for vibration dampening. The coils are protected from heat with its case. But if you've heard otherwise, please let me know. I'm man enough to admit I'm wrong. :-) Good luck with your mods and ride safe, my friend.

@pawelklaman1900 6 лет назад

Yes, I know what you mean, I'm not a mechanic myself and preparing to do some mods, so watching different movies to learn about it as much as I can before starting it. Just saw a Blockhead's movie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7CVAifA7DVs.html (around 12 min) and got a bit confused about this thing, but no worries, I love your movies and admire work you do, drive safe yourself, cheers

@GreatEgret 6 лет назад

I think you might be right on the typical position. Some DK Customs images show it on the outside. Here is an example: www.dkcustomproducts.com/07-up-coil-relocation-dk-cr-rlc07.htm#!prettyPhoto[media_gallery]/1/ . I don't really like that look and I don't think it will impact it negatively. So I think l'll keep it where it is. I'll keep you posted if I have any trouble. I might chat with DK customs too. Thanks for being so observant! Ride safe!

@dianabravo445 5 лет назад

@@GreatEgret was there any negative out comes??

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

None at all. I've put on about 14K miles since and zero negative outcomes.

@ahhsoulcybcyborg8465 5 лет назад

Kong Ee Lee is right , the orange insulator "silicone' is meant to be under the coil , not bracket , so coil wont cook. Dont like! the orange...plenty of silicone, coloured sheets , kitchen heat proof rubber out there , but must have the silicone on coil side , pretty hot near heads ( :

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

There is so much heat generated by the engine. That tiny piece of silicone wont reduce or block any heat getting to the coils that are 10x the size. Harleys vibrate like crazy. It's to reduce vibrations. I put on 24K miles since this video was shot and zero heat has impacted the coils.

What are the torque specs for the motor bolts?

@mbmpablo3631 5 лет назад

I did exactly the same on my 883 2019 everything looks great, but the motorcycle don't start any more, i put in ignition and the plate light turn on but not the speedometer... I turn tonignition and light and turn signal turn on. Speeddometer still off. I push the closh and speedometer turn on , engine light and red circle ligh for 2 seconds.... That it....any solution

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

Start to investigate, but start simply first. Is your bike in neutral when you try to start it? If yes and it still doesn't start. Look at your wiring and make sure everything is connected. Retrace your steps backwards to figure out where you may have gone wrong.

So what keyless ignition system do you have?

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

It's Harley's Smart Security system. I bought the bike new and had it added. I like it, but I kind of wish I waited and installed an aftermarket one with more flexibility and programability.

@exexpat11 4 года назад

I don't understand the coil relocation. The coils are in a nice place compared to some bikes. I moved my coils under the tank on my Warrior because they were vertical and almost in front of the frame. I also don't understand lifting the tank. Why? I do understand moving the speedo to the side of the bike as the sun blocks viewing the digital part of the speedo.

@GreatEgret 4 года назад

The beautiful thing about sportys is you can mod it to your preference. If we all liked the same thing, this world would be a boring place. I cover "why" in two other videos. Check them out.

@exexpat11 4 года назад

@@GreatEgret Totally understand modding. I guess some like seeing a big gap below the tank in the motor area. Less is more? Love my Roadster and it's 3.1 tank - if they made my tank 4 inches higher and made it a full 4 gallons that would be even better. Now that would be a lifted tank!

@thomasward00 5 лет назад

The raised tanks look stupid, not only that but heavily modifying your HD will reduce it's resale value

@GreatEgret 5 лет назад

I have a video on tank lift opinions, why some guys like it, why some dont. Check it out. Two good things here: 1. This is my bike and not yours (whew!!) 2. I'm never selling this Sportster. We have been through WAY too many good times together (double whew!!). Thanks for casting your vote, even though it doesn't matter either way.

@exexpat11 3 года назад

I am not a fan of the look but there is a method to the madness. More cool air on the cylinders of an air cooled bike. Better performance and longevity. All mods can be returned to normal by the next owner if that is what they want. Next owner might be grateful they were made. An old Sportster, well ridden and maintained, used is going to sell for $5500 to $3000 after 5 to 7 years (inflation not factored in).

@GreatEgret 3 года назад

Nearly four years after I bought it and after 32K miles, I sold the Sporty for $6800 WITH the tank lift!
