Coil Mod in metro detroit

Is there anyone one in the metro detroit area with some extra time on their hands? I'm looking at doing a coil mod on my 78 KZ650 and figure it would be nice to have some extra knowledge to rely on.
I know it would not be any fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

PFC FNG, this is NOT rocket science. I did mine in about an hour and a half....and the longest part of that time was deciding where to put the relay and then mounting it there.
The rest of the process was pretty simple...mostly soldering and heatshrinking.
BTW, I mounted my relay up inside the frame behind where the horn mounts on the stock bike. When the tank is on you can't even see the relay and the wiring.
Startups are now instantaneous because you're getting pretty much full battery voltage at the coils so you get full coil saturation quickly....and NO coil overheating/cracking due to low primary voltage/high amperage conditions. What's not to like ??? :)
