Ignition Coil Conversion

Ok so the old style ignition plugs and coils are big, cumbersome, and outdated, they also will make fitting the new fairings i have planned difficult to fit. Time for a revamp...

 - so here is the front left coil, where i sprayed it black and also turned the unit around to see if i could make them fit in with my new ideas
 -Front right coil... even with them black and turned around, they arent goin to work with the new fairings, or they will work but it will look messy.
 - The coils and plugs for cylinder 1 and 3. if im going to replace the front coils, i may aswell do the whole lot and my guesses are i will probably make a nice little weight saving on the way.
 - All the coils, plugs and related bolts/fixings removed!
 - I decided to go with CBR1000rr ignition coils... theyre the same length as the vfr's and use the same 2 pin wiring connections.
 - I wired up the cbr ignition loom to the vfrs, whacked em all in and hey presto jobs a goodun!... nice and neat direct ignition coils fitted, a less messy looking system that saves weight too.
 - The only remnants of the old coils are holes for the rubber grommet nuts to fit the old units to the frame.
I'll think of a way to patch these over at some point.
- A lot cleaner looking, this has been a successful little mod

    1. well its adjustable compression so no trouble there, and as for the spring the return rate seems spot on. and weight difference between the vfr and 929 bikes is about 40kg, i have already stripped about 20kg off my bike, so as it stands the shock is only dealing with 20kg more which is nothing in the scheme damping forces and spring rates these shocks provide

    1. I think I have the answer according to the look of the harness: '04->'07 (SC57).
      I would be curious to know how you connected the wires.
