Need help identifying ignition parts on 1983 gs1100e

Here is a real deal SH775 for $35 shipped...https://www.ebay.com/itm/404242771507

These units are super robust, and almost never fail. The only issues I've found, is broken plastic connectors...and that's not even a dealbreaker.

Where did you buy it? Amazon lists a clumsily described knock off for 80 bucks vs 270 from the manu.
there are even fakes of the widely retrofitted sh775. You have to admire their market research.

I don't recall, it was several years ago. I am 99% sure it was a real one as the wires, connectors and general feel of the RR was high quality expected from a US made product vs cheap chinese knock off. I know what to look for and feel pretty confident it was the real deal. I have seen posts on the inter webs where others have also had issues with the compufire when fitting it to a high reving motor. You will see some ducati forums and GSXR forums people reporting similar.

Well, after cleaning my grounds really well, and every connection to the battery, and where the main ground attaches to the cases, and thoroughly recharging my battery off the bike with an optimate 4 charger, it fired right up.


I'm going to ride the bike for a couple weeks while I'm waiting for all my gaskets and then I'll be doing the valve adjustment, replacing some worn bushings and bolts, replacing a few wires, and some other maintenance
