DD speedo is great. easy to install.




the dual coil set up is from vulcan. easy install on my 2005 DT chopper, just had to add two washers between frame and top mount.

Oh yeah I am liking that set-up too.... a little diamond cut pattern along the edge of that coil mount and it would be like it was made just for my limited edition. Good job Scorp. Looks great.

thanks everybody.

the seat was done by a very talented guy named Rocky at www.purekustom.com he also makes gun holsters and can do amazing things with leather.

the gas cap was made by a guy selling them on ebay several years ago. sorry i dont remember who it was.

more pics for those who asked.

I'm pretty green when it comes to the electronics end. Could someone tell me the advantages of the duel coil set up and what would need to be changed to install one? Keeping in mind I still have the stock harness on an 08 (if that matters)...

Twin coils

You said the coil set up was from Vulcan, I need more info please. This is going to be my project for this winter. Last winter I added nitro and a 4" belt drive on my K9. As soon as the weather gets bad I'll put the dog to sleep and start the projects for Bike week in the spring. TKS ahead for any help

the dual coil system was something i just wanted to do because i like the look. i was concerned about the EHC, so i also did the wire plus change. i didnt have any probs with the EHC, but since big dog is gone i wanted a more reliable system. the EHC doesnt do well with changes. the biggest prob for EHCs is water. if you wash your bike with water it gets into places that cause issues and POOF, your EHC is bad. i personally only use spray detailer to clean my bikes

different years use different ignition configurations. i think some years use single fire systems and others use dual fire systems. you need to know your specific system to make proper changes. i did a search on this site for dual coils and just got parts and info from the different posts i read and the wiring diagrams for my specific bike. there may be somebody specfifc here that knows more about the change than i do.


i have a been working with automotive and other electrical systems for 25 years so it wasnt a tough change for me. i dont recommend doing electrical changes without some help from people who know your bike or if you have the ability yourself.

i will say i have a 2005 chopper with the daytec frame and it was an easy change for the dual coil braket system. i heard it wasnt so easy for others, but i dont know what year and frame type they had. sorry im not more help
