My buddy and I finished this last night thanks to this video. Just wanted to say keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to help others with these DIY videos. Cheers
Hey Blockhead i just finished my coil and ignition relocation and wire tuck.... followed youre instructions and was real easy thanks for the video bro!!!!
Did the wire tuck. My harnessing was definitely not as long as yours... kinda tight in the tank channel... meh, it should be ok. All my electrical works so that’s a plus haha
In 1994 I bought a new 883 standard Sporty. The ignition was mounted on the left side of the engine near the plastic horn. Since I'm right-handed, I was quite dissatisfied with the ignition's location. It was a pain in the ass. about one year into the ownership, I ordered a custom 3.25-gallon gas tank. This tank became standard on the 1995 models, of course. So $500.00 and a couple of months later, the new black tank arrived. The great news was that it arrived with an ignition relocation kit. I mounted the tank and ignition per instruction. The gas tank basically went into the same location as the peanut tank, but the ignition mounted at the lower front of the tank, just behind the frame's head unit. What a treat this aspect of the installation was. Right-handed with the key going into the right side of the bike. And, conveniently forward! A win, win.
I lost my mentor when the best Harley fabricator I ever knew, (my father} passed away in 2016.it's nice to be able to go on TH-cam and find experienced seasoned blockheads to the school us on the Zen Art of motorcycle maintenance. Thank you so much Blockhead? 🙏
Thank you blockhead!! I just finished up the job with a 2 inch lift, and added wire protector for all the exposed wires so the taped look doesn’t look bad and uneven. I did a 3/4 wire protector on the harness coming from the oil tank side, along with fuse tape, and once they needed to separate I cut the 3/4 protector there. I also used a 1/4 inch wire cover for the coil wire and a 3/8 cover for the ignition. It looks very professional. Also have Harley tires coming in today. I own the 2013 iron 883 and I LOVE IT!!
Mr. Blockhead - Bravo Zulu on this video sir! it was a HUGE help in my ignition relo and wire tuck on my Iron 1200. Your videos are proving to be some of the most useful tools when wrenching on my Sportster. Thank you very much and please keep up the good work dude. You are helping MANY riders out there!
Thank you so much! Helped me with my ignition and coil relocation and wire tuck! Only thing I did differently was took the tank completely off. Saved a lot of time.
I'm dyin for having a 883 for myself, but I still can't afford it, so I will stay around your channel to be fed with you experiences haha keep rocking Blockhead!
I don’t have an iron but I got the 883 sporty and it’s an amazing bike just installed slam struts and next I am doing this and the tank lift. Plus the gauge relocation. Blockhead makes it look good. And the sportster look good the way he is doing it
Great Video. You do a very nice job of explaining and showing how this is done. I need to add though in case someone gets confused, the lines you keep referring to as brake lines that you ran up behind the ear of the fuel tank are not brake lines. They are in fact your throttle cables. Your front brake line runs down by your fork and goes underneath your frames neck to your front tires brake caliper.
Gah, totally meant throttle cables! They're so similar to the brake lines on a bicycle that I defaulted and called them brake lines, lol. Thanks for the clarification!
Hi, at least twice you referred to “the brake lines”, my friend, unless your bike has some form of unique engine braking system, the lines you had in your hand at the time are actually your throttle cables! 😱😱 Apart from that, quite an informative video. 👍
I really appreciate this video. Just got my Iron and I will be doing these two mods along with the tank lift this weekend. Thanks, I'm a solid fan from this point on.
Good video. I enjoyed seeing how this was done so neatly. As to the shaking and swinging the camera around, I was getting motion sickness. But, still a good video with good content.
I just bought a 883 a few months ago. i'm so excited but living in Michigan i was only able to get 50 miles on it before i had to put it up. I plan on doing a lot of cosmetic mods to it, this being one of them I was thinking about going 2' up with the tank. it doesn't seem like that much more but it interests me. I can always take it off or change it if i don't like it. I noticed (at least from the vids I've watched) you had no comment on how you like the tank lift, if it changed the way it feels, where you legs grip the tank, the way it handles. Not having done this yet i'd appreciative a bit of feedback on it to see if its something i'm actually going to do or not. Thanks again! love your motovlogs
Thanks for the kind words and support sir, appreciated! The tank lift I did was minimal, 1.5" so didn't really change the way it feels at all. Legs don't really grip the tank, doesn't have anything to do w/ handling either, mostly aesthetic, function in the sense that it gave me room to do the wire tuck in the tank channel. Hope you're able to take the bike out again soon, ride safe out there!
BLOCKHEAD I thought it handled a bit different... like a little bit more top heavy if u know what I mean.. u do lose mileage. but it gives the bike a bit more bad ass bobber don't mess with the pissed off bike kind of appeal.
Good video Blockhead! Dummy question: what’s the purpose for relocating the ignition? Wanna buy this used forty eight and guy said ignition relocation done by the dealer.
I lost about 20 plus miles on a full tank with the lift so I dropped it back down and i figured out a tuck. it was a royal pain. I like the lift, just not losing the few miles I get.
Tank just holds the fuel, shouldn't affect fuel economy at all. It might affect whenever your gas light comes on, but mpg wise, you should be averaging the same.
I just purchased a 2012 883 Iron that the previous owner did the coil and ignition key relocation I need to replace ignition switch do you have any videos that shows how the switch comes out of its holder
Hello Blockhead. I have a 18 XL1200C. Planning on changing the factory coil and wires to Accel. I have the parts now. Would I need to fully remove the Tank to access the Coil? Should I place a rag between the tank and frame? To help keep the tank from dropping . The Manual is stating I need to unplug the Ignition Switch. I'm hoping I can work on it next weekend. After I run most of the gas out of the tank.
Hey bro, first off thanks for the amazing video. I just got my first Sportster, and like many, I'm eager to see what I can start modifying on it. I had a question regarding the wire tuck. I know you mentioned that it would be impossible to tuck the wires under the tank if you had NO raised tank. My question though is, can you still tuck them under the the tank if I decide to do it a 1.5" raised? I know you did 2", but just wondering if it would work out the other way? Thanks again for the great vid man.
you got more cable length after the wire tuck right? like to install a higher handlebar without having to cut wires? (just a couple inches , not 16" apes lol, maybe something like a biltwell frisco handlebar)
Hey man I have a huge favor. I have a 2015 iron 883 that was stolen. Luckily I got it back but the S.O.B. cut out my ignition and the connector to it. I’ve been searching high and low for a connector cable and ignition that would fit my bike but can’t find a damn thing. Looked all through the service manual and hasn’t helped me at all. Could you possibly make a video on how to replace an ignition? Would mean the world to me. Regardless, I love your videos! Cheers!
Have you had any issues with your key breaking off since the initial relocation? I am looking to do this to my 2019 Iron soon and that is my main concern? Also any other issues or things to look out for during the install or that you have encountered since your install?
Do you have any videos on how to rewire a new igntion switch?. I have a 2016 sportster 48, my ignition switch has 2 wires, the new ignition switch has 3 wires, can i wire that 3 wire switch on my sportster?
hey blockhead i have an issue i have a sportster 1200 its clean but they installed a bigger tank and messed with wiring cant find turn signal indicator wiring harness is there a way i can backtrace the wiring for it without removing the big tank that is full thanks
Hey man thanks for this great video, looking to do this soon. Wondering if you can get away with using the spark plug cables already in use or is there a reason to buy new ones? Thanks in advance.
Cool viddddd!!!! Definitely going to tuck wires on my 883 come spring..... I wish you would of done one for the air filter..... Either way im subscribed! On to the next video..... Tank lift! Lol cool bike man keep it up
Thanks for the kind word and support, much appreciated! I actually have footage recorded for removing the stock air filter, but because I had SO many problems with the air filter that I purchased originally, it kind of ended whenever I was trying to install the new one. I'm probably going to be taking the one I have off now to install a hose style external breather system, so I'll try to get some footage to finish off that "How To" video. Thanks again!
I've watched several related videos and want to do this myself but can't figure out where everyone is putting there horn once they do the coil relocation. Where did you put yours?
The horn stays in the same location, it is not attached to the coil or ignition. There are horn relocation kits out there if you want one for the bike though, a quick Google search should give you some options.
Great video. Love how detailed you get with the steps. I gotta ask though, what's the benefit of the coil/ignition relocation? Is it purely a cosmetic thing?
Thanks kev, appreciate the support. No difference in tank range after the tank lift, but I only did 1.5" which is very minimal. Gas light has come on last 3 times as when it normally would, so no change there.
Thank you for your videos , I can fine any videos the way to test coil 4 prom like you have in your bike ,can you tell me the way to test .if it’s, test the two on the left ,the two a the right or both end .Thank you in advance
I've seen your video like 20 times and I finally made it yesterday. The result was awesome. Thank you BLOCKHEAD! I own you a beer if you go to Barcelona :)
Had a guy at Harley tell me to avoid the key ignition if I was doing the relocation due to the key getting worn and potentially shearing off inside the ignition for the vibration. He recommended the push button LED ignition. Have you seen any wear on your key? Any plans on the push button ignition?
I've heard that previously, but haven't had it happen to me yet *knocks on wood.* How long after you installed it between your cylinders, did it take for your first key to break?
Yeah I was looking at the F6 option when I originally purchased. Might just have to do that, broken off key in the ignition would suck! How'd you get it out? Just in case it does happen to me, so I'll know how to get out of that jam, haha
Does anyone know if you can do a wire tuck without lifting the tank??! I have the ignition and coil relocation kit. I will be installing it soon but I wasn’t planning on lifting the tank.
can i move just the coil..i want to leave my igition switch.i like it on the right,plus im not sure having my key dangle next to my coil is a good idea..
Blockhead wondering where the ECU is located on your bike I have an 07 it's located under the seat but it's in the way now that I've got a 48 Fender and tank
Michael Bernhardt hey bro, did you find a solution for your ecu location? I have an 09 iron with the same problem of ecu under the seat. I want to change mine to a springer seat and chopped rear end, and finding it hard with the ecu where it is.
Hahahaha if someone can't remove a seat without a video they abaolutely should not be doing ANYTHING to the wiring on the bike😂 The video should be titled: How to remove a seat and make your bike completely inoperable until you take it to a HD mechanic.
My buddy and I finished this last night thanks to this video. Just wanted to say keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to help others with these DIY videos. Cheers
That's awesome man! Thanks for posting up, glad to hear that it helped out! :)
Dude I can’t thank you enough for this video, I was able to do it faster than I thought I would!
Hey Blockhead i just finished my coil and ignition relocation and wire tuck.... followed youre instructions and was real easy thanks for the video bro!!!!
Glad it helped out! 👍🏼
How long did it take you while following the directions/video?
@@julz7007 about 2-3 hours not too bad 😁
Did the wire tuck. My harnessing was definitely not as long as yours... kinda tight in the tank channel... meh, it should be ok. All my electrical works so that’s a plus haha

I bought a coil/ignition bracket and plug wires. I knew I could do it. Watching this helped me to avoid many mistakes. Thanks great instruction.
Thank you blockhead!! I just finished up the job with a 2 inch lift, and added wire protector for all the exposed wires so the taped look doesn’t look bad and uneven.

Alex Machado do you have any video of how your bike came out using the wire protector? I’d like to see how that looks.
Mr. Blockhead - Bravo Zulu on this video sir! it was a HUGE help in my ignition relo and wire tuck on my Iron 1200.

thanks Blockhead this is helping me at the moment
I'm dyin for having a 883 for myself, but I still can't afford it, so I will stay around your channel to be fed with you experiences haha
keep rocking Blockhead!
Cheers ionro! Keep saving up! :)
I don’t have an iron but I got the 883 sporty and it’s an amazing bike just installed slam struts and next I am doing this and the tank lift. Plus the gauge relocation. Blockhead makes it look good. And the sportster look good the way he is doing it

No problem. Keep up the great work and ride safe my friend!
Thanks I just did the tank lift and wire tuck, your vid helped alot.
I been looking to do this to my HD 48. This was a really useful video. Thank you, bro!
+Black_Box Glad it was useful! 👍🏼
BLOCKHEAD did you have to lift the rear of the tank to do this or no?
Great video! Just did mine on my 48. You the man!
Hi, at least twice you referred to “the brake lines”, my friend, unless your bike has some form of unique engine braking system, the lines you had in your hand at the time are actually your throttle cables! 😱😱
Apart from that, quite an informative video. 👍
Anytime applying new wires die-electric grease should be applied. Nice video.
One of the best videos I've seen thank you
Thanks for your time by making this video. It is so helpful. I already order the bracket and this is my next assignment. Thanks again. 👍🏾
+Ronald Mejia Glad to be of help!
video was super helpful. Easy to follow along. Made this project super easy with no headache
"...so, it has to be touching itself... haha, weird!" 😂
Cool video, easy to follow. After watching it I decide my self to install my stock i received two months ago haha
Nice, glad it helped out :)
Great stuff will be utilizing this video soon! Thanks!
Cool, best of luck, have fun! :)
great job on the mod, looks fantastic
I really appreciate this video. Just got my Iron and I will be doing these two mods along with the tank lift this weekend. Thanks, I'm a solid fan from this point on.

What's the advantage to moving them?
I lost about 20 plus miles on a full tank with the lift so I dropped it back down and i figured out a tuck. it was a royal pain. I like the lift, just not losing the few miles I get.
Tank just holds the fuel, shouldn't affect fuel economy at all. It might affect whenever your gas light comes on, but mpg wise, you should be averaging the same.
BLOCKHEAD mpg not affected. overall fuel capacity. lifted holds little less fuel.
Because of the different angle?
Very detailed video thanks
What happens to the horn? Also can I do this even if my Harley is carburetor?
Awesome video about to this to my 2014 iron right now.
I just purchased a 2012 883 Iron that the previous owner did the coil and ignition key relocation I need to replace ignition switch do you have any videos that shows how the switch comes out of its holder
I owe you a case of beer. Thank you!

What year is this 883? My 2016 883 was stolen and recovered but they busted my ignition switch. Trying to buy the parts to fix it myself.
Hey Blockhead you should look up Painless wiring harness they do muscle car stuff you can get a braided looking line to hide the exposed wiring
I have a 06 883r..I’m trying to find what you did with the choke? Mine is right where the relocation puts it.
Been looking for a vid on how to get to the ignition thanks
Can doing this mess up the tune of a bike? I just got a stage 1 kit and now want to do this myself. Pls lmk thanks
Very clear and helpful thanks a lot !
Probably a really silly question but does the steering lock still work?
Do you think you could do the tank lift and wire tuck without doing the coil and ignition relocation?
Yes, you can
you got more cable length after the wire tuck right? like to install a higher handlebar without having to cut wires? (just a couple inches , not 16" apes lol, maybe something like a biltwell frisco handlebar)

wow what a great vid, thank you sir
Can you still do a wire tuck with only raising the tank 1”? I have a 2020 iron 883
Have you had any issues with your key breaking off since the initial relocation? I am looking to do this to my 2019 Iron soon and that is my main concern? Also any other issues or things to look out for during the install or that you have encountered since your install?
Do you have to relocate the ignition or was it a personal preference?
lol at 16:10 when you said tuck your brake lines... throttle cables**
Do you have any videos on how to rewire a new igntion switch?. I have a 2016 sportster 48, my ignition switch has 2 wires, the new ignition switch has 3 wires, can i wire that 3 wire switch on my sportster?
hey blockhead i have an issue i have a sportster 1200 its clean but they installed a bigger tank and messed with wiring cant find turn signal indicator wiring harness is there a way i can backtrace the wiring for it without removing the big tank that is full thanks
cool video dude! you give me ideas for my future iron (purchase next friday :) , delivery in 2 or 3 months, sooooo long ). Ride safe...
Glad you like the vid, thanks for the support. Congrats on the incoming bike, sorry it's such a long wait!
Awesome job mate...
Danke!
Excellent tutorial, perfect vidéo, very clear ! +++
+Bruno Guillon Glad you enjoyed!
Hi! Is it possible to wire tuck all the wire and just leave the ignition coil ? Thanks.
ever had you ignition come loose ?? mine has come loose twice already.
Hey man thanks for this great video, looking to do this soon. Wondering if you can get away with using the spark plug cables already in use or is there a reason to buy new ones? Thanks in advance.
Great job explaining everything. Do you feel this allows more air flow to the motor?
Do you need a dinamometric wrench for the coil support on the head?
Thank you sir! Great information and very detailed!!!
Cool viddddd!!!! Definitely going to tuck wires on my 883 come spring..... I wish you would of done one for the air filter..... Either way im subscribed! On to the next video..... Tank lift! Lol cool bike man keep it up
Thanks for the kind word and support, much appreciated! I actually have footage recorded for removing the stock air filter, but because I had SO many problems with the air filter that I purchased originally, it kind of ended whenever I was trying to install the new one. I'm probably going to be taking the one I have off now to install a hose style external breather system, so I'll try to get some footage to finish off that "How To" video. Thanks again!
So you can wire tuck without lifting the tank?😊
I've watched several related videos and want to do this myself but can't figure out where everyone is putting there horn once they do the coil relocation. Where did you put yours?
The horn stays in the same location, it is not attached to the coil or ignition. There are horn relocation kits out there if you want one for the bike though, a quick Google search should give you some options.
Do you have to do a tuck if you raise tank or is it just to look better
Great video. Love how detailed you get with the steps. I gotta ask though, what's the benefit of the coil/ignition relocation? Is it purely a cosmetic thing?
Is the tank lift necessary to do a coil and ignition relocation?
good descriptive video , nice ride , after the tank lift did you notice any difference in the tank range ?
Thanks kev, appreciate the support. No difference in tank range after the tank lift, but I only did 1.5" which is very minimal. Gas light has come on last 3 times as when it normally would, so no change there.
Hey man , not sure if this is a dumb question but can you relocate the coils without relocating the ignition?
Thank you for your videos , I can fine any videos the way to test coil 4 prom like you have in your bike ,can you tell me the way to test .if it’s, test the two on the left ,the two a the right or both end .Thank you in advance
I've seen your video like 20 times and I finally made it yesterday. The result was awesome. Thank you BLOCKHEAD! I own you a beer if you go to Barcelona :)
im planning to like that and putting new intake and exhaust do i need to tune it? or is it gas and go?
Good video but do you realy need to relocate the ignition switch? I dont think it looks much better
Had a guy at Harley tell me to avoid the key ignition if I was doing the relocation due to the key getting worn and potentially shearing off inside the ignition for the vibration. He recommended the push button LED ignition. Have you seen any wear on your key? Any plans on the push button ignition?
Haven't seen any wear on my key. No plans on the push button ignition.
I installed the same kit on my nightster and the rattling of the ignition between the cylinders broke 2 keys off. I don't recommend keeping it there.
I've heard that previously, but haven't had it happen to me yet *knocks on wood.* How long after you installed it between your cylinders, did it take for your first key to break?
BLOCKHEAD
it took only 3 months. about 4000 miles maybe less. I'm going to use the F6 option on my Iron this time. good luck and ride safe!
Yeah I was looking at the F6 option when I originally purchased. Might just have to do that, broken off key in the ignition would suck! How'd you get it out? Just in case it does happen to me, so I'll know how to get out of that jam, haha
I was able to fish it out with a paperclip.
Planning on doing this on my 48 this weekend. How long did it take you to do this job?
Can you get the bracket without the ignition tab for late model keyless sportsters?
When you loosen the bolts that are attached to the heads what side do you loosen them left side or right side
HiMr Block H. could you please, tell me the fastening torque of the two bolts for the bracket for coil relocation? thank you for your vids
Does anyone know if you can do a wire tuck without lifting the tank??! I have the ignition and coil relocation kit. I will be installing it soon but I wasn’t planning on lifting the tank.
I am about to do it myself. Thank you so much
how much of a lift did you do on the tank 2"?
+Sheldon Doshi 1.5"
Do you have to have the tank lift
After seeing how much these brackets are I think I’ll make my own. Nice job tho.
Where did you get the spark plug wires?
what is the purpose of relocating the ignition? seems to me Harley put it on the right side for a reason. away from the shaking moter and heat
Hey Blockhead, what dit you do whit the signalhorn?
Do you have to do the tank lift ?
Excellent video thank you
would the wires fit if i did all this without a tank lift?
can i move just the coil..i want to leave my igition switch.i like it on the right,plus im not sure having my key dangle next to my coil is a good idea..
Blockhead wondering where the ECU is located on your bike I have an 07 it's located under the seat but it's in the way now that I've got a 48 Fender and tank
Michael Bernhardt hey bro, did you find a solution for your ecu location? I have an 09 iron with the same problem of ecu under the seat. I want to change mine to a springer seat and chopped rear end, and finding it hard with the ecu where it is.
did you go for the f6. Or the ignition above coil relocation kit
If someone can't take the seat off chances are they can't do any of the rest of this job.
Kenneth Hildebrand I was thinking that as soon as he said he had a video for it 😂
Hahahaha if someone can't remove a seat without a video they abaolutely should not be doing ANYTHING to the wiring on the bike😂
The video should be titled: How to remove a seat and make your bike completely inoperable until you take it to a HD mechanic.
³³×⁴ewe÷e÷==⅔
Is the tank lift required to do this?
Thanks great video!!
Cool! Did u made those wires by yourself or did u find suitable ones..? Give me URL of the store if u found suitable ones right away..
