    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.

Good day,

Is there an electronic ignition drop in replacement for the old twin points set-up on a 79 GS1000E. Time for an upgrade.

Cheers

Yes, there are aftermarket kits for these bikes, you might also be able to retrofit the newer electronic systems from another GS to yours at less cost.
 
I second that on the Dyna S, It's simple very effective and matched with the Dyna green coils all you would ever need unless you were racing the bike, and then it wouldn't be a bad choice.:D Watch the way the coils and wires are listed on Z1. It seemed they were listed singly, so I ended up with two sets. Not a problem since I have another bike to build.

I run mine with the stock 78 coils. They are 5ohm not 3 ohm but it doesn't cause any issues. I have a set of Accel's on the shelf in case one ever goes out but that's rare :)
 
Thanks guys, I've used the Dyna, as well as Crane, on Harleys before and like them. There are a couple of places around here that sell them so it's just price shopping now.

Cheers

Go to z1enterprises.com and get the Dyna S... so easy to set up, and you'll never have to deal with faulty points again! Makes it great for future upgrades! (Coils and wires) :) Took me about 30 mins to get it timed up perfectly. The kit i had came with an aluminum spacer that my 78 GS1000 C didn't need.
