Hi Guys,

I'm building a GK76a from boxes, but cannot figure out how the coils mount under the tank.

Would anyone have a picture of the area under the headstock?
Or could someone take such a picture?

Here's hoping!

Alex.

No picture but they fit side by side right up against the head stock, real pain to get to as they are behind the thermostate.

I can see where they go, I just can't picture HOW they go there! :whistle: I don't know if we are missing a bracket or some other attachment mechanism.

That may be the next step (or for my FZR hybrid... ;) ) but this bike will be standard to start with, it's just easier!

the plug connectors for the switch gears and ignition goes right behind the headstock and all 3 connectors are on a bracket witch the bolts for the coils go through

if that makes any scene :/

Ah, I understand what you are saying and it does make sense. I'll have to have a closer look and see what spacers are needed and how it fits together, I think I may have the connector bracket upside down...
