    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok this may seem like a dumb question...

But today i was chatting with a guy over on the DTT forum, who swapped out his points and condensor ignition with an electronic set up from a later model bike (in this case, Kaw) Is it possible to do that on our GSs? I have a worthless 16v 750 motor from which i could pull it. Just asking

You could, but you'd have use & wire in the stock igniter box too, not just the trigger. Would be a bit of a PITA but certainly possible.

Fitting a Dyna S would be easier as it's only 3 wires!

I know as I've just done it!

See if you can the ignition base to fit. Find a place for the igniter and use the coils and advance. Put the timing marks from the advance on F1&4 and line up the crank trigger with the pickup.
 
Wow thanks for the quick replies fellas! Yeah i definately know that a Dyna S would be a hell of alot easier, but, its also 130ish bucks, plus, to do it right, i would need coils (another 130ish or more) and new wires, etc etc. It sounds certainly like a big PITA to do it, but i may be suprised. And, its here, and its free. Worth a shot, or should i just bite the bullet and spend yet more money on this cafe project??
 
The stock setup uses 3 ohm coils too... so you need coils anyway.

On the instructions to the Dyna S all it specifies is AT LEAST 3ohm coils so I think you could even run the 5ohm ones ok. I'm thinking of trying that myself on the 78.

Dan :)
 
Ive got the coils off that 80 bike too, so i wouldnt be using everything for the ignition system off of it. I'll give it a serious look. If its a pain, screw it, i'll just get a Dyna...
