I did the coil mod mentioned in a few other threads Sunday. First off, let me say that electrical work, whether it's automotive, residential, etc., makes me nervous. Anyway, I knew going in my battery needed charging, so after replacing the plugs and hoping I had the coil mod done correctly, I unhoked the trickle charger and hit the button. 1/2 a turn later,and
IT'S ALIVE!
Man, this bike has never run so well, cold or hot, since I bought it a year ago. Can't wait to get it out on the street! (of course, the predictions for the rest of the work week are rain and more rain, followed by periods of precipitation)

I searched but can't find any info so I gotta ask: What's this about a coil mod?

BTW, I met Steve from Southwest ohio Sunday morning. Very intelligent man. He explained the idea of a relay to me and after it sunk in was when I got the nerve to actually install and test the mod. Thanks, Steve. Hope the parts you got are doing you well.
 
Paul,

The parts are mostly doing very well. Got the side stand switch installed on my wife's bike last night, it works perfectly.

Started cleaning the head, found two broken exhaust bolts, got them out OK. Started using a thread chaser to clean the spark plug holes and got it stuck, so that's where it sits right now. Gonna try some heat this afternoon to try to free thing up a bit.

The carbs will be a project for when there is nothing left to do. :-\"

Nice to meet you, hope we get to do some riding together this summer. 8-[
