Dyna Ignition GS1000

[gaillarry]

Planning to get rid of the points system on my 78 GS1000. I've read all the old posts on converting to an electronic system. Dyna comes first and MSD second.

What type/model # do I get and who has the best price?

Dyna S is what you need and Z1 Enterprises is a good retailer.

Just did the install on my '78 GS750 .. easy. When I read the instructions I thought it would be a pain, but rolling up the sleeves and getting into it, it was simple and straightforward and bike fired up first time. Go for it!

Dyna S, Dyna green 3 Ohm coils with 8mm suppression wires.

Yes Dyna S ibnition but ill be going for Accel Coils. Just as good (if not better) and look like a standard bolt on and not a crossover from a ### harley.

Got a Dyna 2000 with ign coils, off another forum member. Starting installing it today, have figure out how to fit the Dyna 2.2 coils in the frame.

You'll just need to get the right mounting hole & play around with the order of washers on the mounting bolts to get the right height....

I had to put mine in with the leads facing forward so they looped around & back to the plugs.

Got a pic of how yours are mounted?

Nope but this is the stock set I took off...... Imagine the Dyna coil connectors for the wires are facing forward (right in this photo) & down at about 45 degrees (as they will be if you face them forward...).

This is correct orientation... that I used

Bought both my Dyna S electronic ignition and my Dyna Green coils from Z1, good pricing and great service. The coils fit right in the ignition system was simple to put in. GREAT up grades.

I ended up facing mine forward because the stock wires to the coils were too short to run all the way to the front of the coils. It really does not matter at all, the Dyna plug wires are long enough to go either way with wire to spare, you just have to attach the front plug wire before mounting the coils.
