    Accelerate coil placement pictures

    Has anyone got any pictures showing how they mounted a set of Accel coils (preferably to a GS1000E)?

    It looks like you have to use the clamps and the adapter bracket and then rotate the connectors to the outside, doesn?t appear to be room to use the stock posts as the connectors would then point straight down.

    just wanted to make sure I?ve got a rough idea before I mount them and try to re-fit the tank.

    Finally getting around to fitting them, only had them on my shelf about 9years...

    Also interestingly I thought I was down a couple of volts at the coils but it turned out to be only one coil and only when the Dyna S was connected on that same circuit (orange white). Very strange. I’ve now re-jigged so the Dyna Is on that circuit with the trigger for a relay and have the coils powered from the relay.
    You can do it all very neatly down by the box, no need to run new wires up to the coils in my case.

    It’s only been that way since I added the Dyna S about 10years ago....

        Is that a GS1000? Are the plug wires & the power connectors facing front in that picture or back?

        I just noticed what the stupid auto correct named this thread... well maybe they will help it accelerate!!

              Mine are mounted just like Sharpy. Wires to the rear.

              I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

                  Thanks Jim. I'd seen that before & basically did the same thing but just using some individual wire connectors rather than plugs. Maybe I'll use a plug version on the 1100.

                    Thanks Sharpy, pics are great. The wiring loom is what is in the way on mine. Looks like I need to work out how to shift it....

                        Not much room here due to the loom on either side.... I'll have to see if I can shift something. New wires turned up this morning.

                            Yes, for some reason the area looks a lot clearer on your ST than on my skunk.... Currently there isn't room there to mount the coil with the contacts facing down.
