MSD ignition box

[CB900SS]

Hello, been a while. My GS just stayed in storage last year, except a couple of rides to keep the cobwebs clear. I'd like to do a little work on it this winter and maybe even ride it a bit next year.

So I have an MSD 6AL motorcycle ignition box that I never used on a Honda, and I'd like to use it on my Suzuki. Has anyone installed one of these big boxes? Where did you put it on the bike? Also, can I use the stock coils and pickups for now?

Thanks!

Interesting.
I didn't even know that they made any for motorbikes.
I have 3 of the 6AL's in a few of my cars and love the built in rev-limiter chips.
100% reliable for years so far...

Hi CB900SS.

Welcome to the forum.

You should introduce yourself. Not everybody read the technical posts.
You might find someone that did exactly that or knows why it won't work.

Thanks DP I appreciate it. I've actually been a member, with some posts in the past. My account was purged for not logging in for six months, so I've done the whole introduction thing in the past. I'll hold out with this thread, or I'll figure it out eventually.

Also, the MSD box is an old MC-1.

I was calling it a 6AL from memory, and mixing it up with car stuff.

My 1150 based cartire dragbike had one on it. Along with the green three ohm dyna coils, and dyna s style pick-up at the crank.
