I found a set of coils that will fit the stock bracket without any fab work, so those are on the way, no wat fong here.
Turns out the switches I was trying to wire in arent going to work, at least not with the stock wiring, as honda intended it to. The factory wiring has a provision to directly power the headlight with the alternator output, and I cant do that - power to the left side (light, turn, horn) switch is through a single wire, the circuits arent separated. Some internet research says that these switches are also just plain not durable and will fail. Its the same brand as the ignition switch that barfed its tumbler out, so I guess I shouldnt be surprised.
Working on some other options for handlebar switches but I think I know what I need to do. Once my ignition switch is here, even without any other controls I can wire power to the coils and jump the starter relay and hopefully get it fired.
