Back at it in March

This is some of the final touch work I've been doing while waiting on parts to arrive:

Currently waiting on Coils from PartsNMore.
They are out of stock at MikesXS and the only place I've found the cheaper replacement is at partsnmore.com at $30 per coil. You have to look up the Honda GL1100 to find it. These are rated at 3ohms/pc. and you use standard automotive plug wires. You can throw on a set of NGK (or any other) resistor caps to bypass your ballast resistor by plugging the 2 Red wires into each other. You can do the same thing with resister plugs marked by an "R" in the number. An XS1100 uses plugs BP6ES, BP6RES, BP6REIS which would be the iridium plugs from which I've heard great things. For my bike I am using 90° NGK resistor caps on Dyna 7mm copper core wires with the BP6REIS plugs. For testing I am using the BP6ES plugs due to the cheaper price tag from Z1 Enterprises. I have to buy the iridiums at the local shop.
