Yep, what Kurt said. The ignition coil relay smooths out the engine at
low RPM.
Here's the fuse/relay box I've installed:

Javier, I can answer those.
Both headlight and ignition coils are fed by small wires that travel
through several switches.
The relay mods use those wires to drive relays instead. Relays don't
require much current, so the old, possibly dirty original wiring path
won't struggle with them.
The relays are then wired in a direct connection from the battery to the
device, usually with much upgraded wire. This provides a lower
resistance, shorter, and simpler path for the device, with less voltage
drop.
I've done them both to my own Nighthawk, not hard and pretty cheap. I
got a volt and a half increase at the headlight after the mod, enough to
show a visible improvement in light output.

Neil,
What is the ignition coil relay? Also, why a headlight relay?
