Coil location on a 3TJ racebike

Post by Drunkn Munky » Sat Jan 25, 2014 6:04 pm

Where is the prefered location to mount the coils on a racebike running ram air? As i didnt have the pleasure of stripping the bike down i dont know where they were mounted to begin with and using my roadbike for reference they clearly wasnt keep in the stock position.

I've got a pair of dyno coils mounted on the front fairing bracket. I've got a pic but as usual can't get the bloody thing to upload!
The coils should be out of the way where they fit as standard as the ducting doesn't go near them as far as I can see.

Did someone else make a ram air setup for 3TJs besides BDK?

Harris made a kit copy back in the days and you just ran/made your own tubes

Sure I still have one in the stash somewhere waiting for the next 3tj to come along lol
