Default Inductive pickup for coil-on-plug (CDI)

I am trying to find a way to connect an inductive sensor on a Honda CBR F4i coil-on-plug. The RPM signal on our Superflow engine dyno only has inductive input, and unfortunately most coil-on-plug applications have no spark plug wires.

There are a couple ways it can possibly work.

A tool that somehow clips to or mounts to the coil, or a converter that will reference either the cam or crank trigger wheel and convert it into an inductive signal.

If anyone has experience with getting a similar setup to work, please let me know.

If you have a short plugwire you can pull the coil and just use the wire as a jumper of sorts.

Or you can use the inductive pick-up on the coil's trigger wires. Try this first.

You also might be able to just lay the pick-up on top of the coil too.
