After much trial and error, I finally got the right sized bracket made up whereby I can still fit my gas tank back on. I'm a bit concerned on where these things have to be placed.. the wiring harness runs close to the towers of the coils.
Anyway it certainly improved starting. It used to be that I'd have to choke the bike every time I started it, but not any longer.. starts up great after warm without choking. The bike seems to have more omph as well.. but that might have been the case if I had replaced with new old stock coils as well.
The problem however now is that there is more of a drain on the electrical system. I have a voltmeter installed on the bike. It used to show up to 14 volts at highway speeds, but now is showing only a shade below 13 volts, and tooling around town at 30 - 40 mph, it is showing slightly less than 12 volts.
So, given the problem with the charging system, tax on the electrical system, and my worries about the towers so close to the harness, maybe I'll replace with stock if I can still get them and put the Accel coils up for sale on ebay.
Has anyone noticed a difference in their voltage after installing these? Did you all have difficulties fitting these things in the limited space under the tank?
