They must be individual coils, since the V-Rod does
not use waste-fire.  It's pretty standard these days
to use individual stick coils on motorcycles.

Well, I don't think anyone here is a Harley factory
mechanic currently, so the only answer would be to
poke around and find out.

I would wager, however, that the ion-sensing is built
into their engine management box, so unless you were
going to run an engine with the same v-angle, I doubt
you'd find anything off a V-Rod useful except the coils.
