GS1100 Ignition

Does this look original or somebody messed with it before?

Stock. Ray.

It's stock, it should be a Dyna-S, better mileage, and a tad better performance!!

where is the best place to get the Dyna Ignition...?

Ebay has some good deals but you can also go to the Dynatek website.

I've got two Dyna S ignitions that are now superfluous to my needs. One new (out of packaging) that showed up recently from the previous owner of my racebike, and one used that I bought off a seller here. PM me if you're interested in one. (I sent you a note about the coils too).

Is there really a measurable difference, I wonder, unless the stock one is faulty, with misfiring issues?
On a stock bike?

Hi, the stock ignitions are not designed to run well in the upper revs. The dyna-s will perform great in high revs, get better gas mileage, start easier, and will deliver more performance.
I have proved the performance at the drag strip with several different bikes. They are VERY common at the race track...........Bob

There's a fair bit of variation between the ignition systems on the different GS bikes. The early electronic ignition (starting in 1980) used a mechanical advance and then in 1982 some models went to a new type of ignitor with the advance curve built into the electronics. And even with in a family of bikes the ignitors varied; most look like a black box but I took this ignitor off a 1981 1000GL parts bike. Guess I'm trying to say that the systems changed quite a bit so personally I wouldn't draw too many generalities about performance.
