Yes I put a little red rubber grease on the front rubbers - a bit of wiggle helps with getting the tank fully forwards. The cable tie idea by NJ will definitely help. I removed the seat & tank yesterday afternoon to improve access to the coils for fitting a couple of new leads.

That’s fine Ted. I’m sure you won’t be stupid enough to make the same mistake I made when trimming the new leads to length after the coils had been sealed. Ooops! Like the saying goes “measure twice cut once”

Oddjob:
After doing the Ash mod on my coils I used a 1 metre length of HT lead for each coil, didn't cut it, just left it in a loop until I comes time to fit it, then I'll leave a little extra on it for trimming purposes later and will route them over the top of the engine and not leave them hanging in the air over the front of the exhausts. I have already bought HT clips so that they are secure over the engine and will not move. It just looks so much tidier that way. Plus my coils face backwards so that also helps.
