Dyna ignition systems

What's wrong with the stock dual tower coils? The best fuse system is a simple panel. My personal favorite is the Eastern Beaver PC8. Centech make some that are adequate and there are others.

If you must rewire it, I suggest you place the wiring in place on the bike and connect up as much as possible and peel open the harness. With the wiring diagram in hand, you can then surgically remove anything that you don't need and then seal it back up leaving the ignition wiring and connectors intact.

That way you will also be able to see the way that components like the pulsars, coils and CDI are connected in case you want to move something and have to lengthen any wires.

Do you have nay pictures of the bike as you bought it and where it now is that we can see?
 
I've been wondering about these myself.

If I were to run the dyna ignition with the dyna coils to boot, how do I know which OHMs rating is best for my bike? (75 cb400f)

5 ohm street and 3 ohm track but you can run 3 ohm with a DYNA S trigger I believe
 
Thanks. What is it the extra 2 ohms do differently under the different riding conditions? I'm assuming track conditions means a bit more intense, so the voltage is more intense? For whatever reason that made me figure the bigger number was for more intense conditions... /clueless
 
Not quite the logic I was thinking of, but I like it.

More along the lines of, V=IR so I=V/r where V =12volts, r= 3 or 5, so I =4 amps or 2.4 amps . Lower resistance equals more current when the points are closed. Race bike run higher revs and for only a short time. Higher revs means that the points are closed for a shorter time, so that's less of an issue. On the street, the extra current runs batteries down and gets coils hotter

And points wear out faster with the higher current.

Unless the engine has a miss, the 5 ohm coils are more than adequate for the street. The aftermarket coils, even at 5 ohms, usually have a higher voltage spark than the stock coils. The stock coils are perfectly fine, so I would use coils most resembling stock in current.resistance..ie: 5 ohms.
 
Timeconsuming is that a Red Panda in your avatar? I first saw them in the Beijing Zoo and last year saw them at the Panda Base in Chendu where they have a great area for them to climb and forage.
 
It is indeed. My spirit animal? (Loves sleeping?) I first saw them in Cincinnati's zoo, then in San Diego's. I bet zoo's in their native land (southeast asia?) have way better areas for them.
 
They are incredibly cute animals. At the Beijing zoo they used to have a reasonable sized conventional home, but at Panda Base they have an area the size of a small park with lots of trees to climb, shrubs to hide under and it's a little more like their normal habitat I guess.

My photos are not very good, so I borrowed this link.
