To reposition the coil on your Harley Davidson Sportster, start by ensuring the motorcycle is stable and secure for maintenance work. Always keep safety precautions in mind when performing any maintenance on a motorcycle (or car). First, remove the fuel tank. Unscrew the bolts (as shown in the video) and disconnect the fuel line to the engine. Disconnect the spark plug leads from the two cylinders and unscrew the two bolts (located close together, as seen in the images, securing the components above the cylinders) that hold the metal plate where you will reposition the coil. Finally, tidy up the wiring (grouping the wires and securing them next to the frame tube) to complete the job!
