Ignition Coil mount is a simple
1/8" thick tab welded to frame with 1/4" holes drilled for mounting bolts. The
coil is a simple 12v automotive ignition coil, nothing special, available at any discount
auto parts store. Photo makes it appear larger than it really is. Position of the coil is
a compromise between keeping the mass of the bike centered and low and trying to keep the
spark plug lead as short as possible. I made a the cinch strap that goes around the coil
by wrapping some 24 gauge steel around the coil and bending a couple of right angle tabs.
I drilled the tabs to find the mount, slipped the bolts through and as you tighten up the
bolts it cinches down on the coil for a nice tight fit. Paint it satin black and mount it
with 1/4 - 20 socket bolts and Nyloc nuts. Note in this photo the green spring added to
clutch arm at the base of the cylinder, this was added to give the clutch lever more feel,
the jockey was complaining you see. |
