Honda Goldwing Bobber Build | E58 - Dodge Neon Ignition Upgrade

[@nevsmate9818]

you stated that you're using the Mini Cooper coils, I'm in the UK so, the mini coil may be more available here. is this a new part & is the same as the neon? have you got part code? thnx.

[@HooptieDoodle]

The MINI part # is 12137510738. I wired this in exactly as one would the Neon coil and it works great. As far as I can tell these are exchange-ably the same part.

[@picklerickc1375]

Best tutorial for this coil swap that I've seen.. I appreciate that you explain the process to everything and why you do it.

[@picklerickc1375]

Have you got to start it yet? If not, then soon hopefully lol

[@HooptieDoodle]

Mega thanks for the compliment 😁

[@HooptieDoodle]

@@picklerickc1375 I have started it. I even drove it, but now the bike is, yet again, apart to get new head gaskets. I had water in the oil.

[@HooptieDoodle]

@@picklerickc1375 this Mini Cooper coil totally works, which is a relief 😌

[@picklerickc1375]

@@HooptieDoodle that's awesome man. I like seeing you come up with your own way for stuff too.. I don't have the mind to do that. Especially with electrical stuff. Hopefully my coils never go bad, but if/when they do, I'll definitely use your video

[@navythomas8]

Amazing for a 1986 GW just bought for $300. 84,000 miles!

[@HooptieDoodle]

And it runs? Great deal!

[@yogmoto4221]

Very cool! I like the idea of a different coil pack than the stock one.

[@HooptieDoodle]

It works 😁. And others have seen improved performance. I never knew the bike without, so I have no reference.

[@_JoeMomma]

oh my god! where were you 5 years ago when I need your video for my coil pack!

[@HooptieDoodle]

I was just a young kid then 😆

[@MotorvriendenDePallieters]

Another experience done It is really a pleasure to watch your videos, let the videos come 😉👍👌

[@HooptieDoodle]

Thanks again 😀

[@terrygreen1508]

Can you do this swap while using the factory points ignition?

[@a.j.sgarage9637]

Do you plan on putting a partial fender over the rear tire? I dont want to on mine. But if I hit a pothole and bop off the seat, that wheel is like a meat grinder..

[@HooptieDoodle]

No, I am going past impractical to debatably dangerous, ya know full cool, like the kids do 😁. No fenders.

[@a.j.sgarage9637]

Lmao! I'm right with ya! I've got alot of people encouraging me to do it though

[@HooptieDoodle]

@@a.j.sgarage9637 exactly the same over here, though everyone here is worried about the stripe I'll get down my back.

[@a.j.sgarage9637]

Yeah lol. Trick is. Hold the hell on!

[@jeffzeidner4396]

What is the advantage to swapping in the Neon/ Mini coil vs. keeping the original coil?

[@HooptieDoodle]

It is cheaper than new OEM or Dynatek coils and I've read others believe that their engines run better with the Neon coil.

[@jeffzeidner4396]

@@HooptieDoodle, thank you for the response. BTW, I have wanted to build one of these for some time. Your videos gives me the answers and confidence to do it. I am looking at an '86 on Saturday.

[@blakewixom2893]

what did you do with the ballast resistor? I am currently fighting my ignition issues after I followed exactly what you did in your video. Right now the bike runs but has a very week idle it dies, it doesn't like to be revvved up now and I can't find any information online on what happens to the ballast resistor when you do this mod

[@johnk6837]

This sounds like an intermittent issue I had with this swap. It turns out it was just a loose wire. I’m not even sure which one, but I tightened them all up and the issue went away. Hope this helps

[@davidswope8004]

Does the firing order need to be changed , on the neon coil for the GL1000

[@qrwayan]

Just let me know something ,the coil you have use from Mini got 1 Ohm primary resistance !? the oryginal GL1100 state 3 Ohm !??? How its work????

[@POWERBOUZOUKI]

Do you think will work on a 78 gl1000

[@hayabusa3810]

Did you keep anything from your original wire harness I have a Rat's Nest a wires and I was unsure what to remove or to keep

[@HooptieDoodle]

Yes. I only slightly modified the original harness

[@RussDOBrien]

​@@HooptieDoodlewhat did you end up doing. I'm staring at a rats nest on 1981 GL1100 I'm just starting on. I've been considering replacing the whole harness if fixing the old means I'll have to learn it intimately anyway
