    Dyna DS3-3C install - coil clearance - 82 gs450

    Has anyone installed the dyna coils on the gs450 without modifying the tank or mounts? finished wiring last night and discovered the gas tank hits the spark plug terminals. i have the terminals mounted towards the outside of the bike. any tips? i'm not gonna be able to look at it or try anything until im off of work today.

    I had them on mine... is yours an E/S or an L or T? Mine's an E.

    Here's how I had them mounted, no clearance/interference issues although it did make it more awkward routing harness and cables around them due to being quite a bit larger than the stock coils.

      i have a 450t, the mounting tabs for the coils are in the frame rails on either side of the main support in the center. the plug leads are hitting the tank i may have to get creative with a hammer.

        Either that or fabricate some brackets to hang over the centre rail like on mine.
