1974 XS/TX650 rebuild

[th62]

I bough a twin outlet coil for a CB750 for use on the TX, unfortunately it won't fit where the original coils were so I fabricated a mount and mounted it up where the flicker indicator relay normally sits. This necessitated turning the coil on it's side, so the plug leads follow different paths to the plugs, a bit untidy, but I think I can live with that. Rather than have the points lead snaking all over the place, I drilled a hole in the top of the points backing dish and took the wire straight up to the coil. I did originally make a coil mount that bolted to the horn bracket mount, the coil residing between the front down tubes, but that looked very untidy. For now, the coil is out of sight under the tank, looking much tidier. Shame about the plug leads following different paths and angles, but, you can't have everything. You'll notice I even polished the plug caps. Getting down to the nutty gritties now.
