[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 143934, member: 2938"] Thanks Joe. I'll look him up. A review for anyone installing or considering this kit. Here is a post I made elsewhere to explain a few things... I am working on a revised manual for the GL1100 and 1200 installation, since the 1000 never had spark boxes to worry about. This was supposed to happen last week at Louis Hallett's shop but as most of you know, his death the day before our photo shoot put this project on the back burner for a few weeks. I promise to finish our GL1100/1200 installation guide in a timely fashion and appreciate your patience while we help Louis' wife finish customer repairs and sort things at his shop. [b]INFO:[/b] Our ignitions always eliminate factory ignition parts. Shame on me for assuming everyone knows this already. You do NOT use resistors, spark boxes, or anything else. You can remove old parts or simply unplug them. Our ignition should be connected to a power supply that turns off with the handlebar shutoff switch but if you bypass that it is completely up to you. Erratic voltages increase chances of electronic failures so fix loose wiring before installation! I have always used the stock Honda coil power to operate our coils and ignition module. So far I've not had issues. [b]FRAME MOUNTS:[/b] GL1000 frame uses stock Honda aluminum coil mounts. The lower mount gets flipped 180 degrees and we provide two spacers and M5x40 bolts for this and two M6x20 screws for the frame (in case you destroyed the old ones). GL1100 frame needs two "L" shaped brackets. The coil sits with the towers facing upward. GL1200....I have not test fit yet but the same brackets can be used with the coil towers facing down. I know it fits a bare frame but waiting for a few people to provide feedback for me. If anyone gets stuck while installing, give me a call. I am gone much of the time and don't check forums daily.
