I would appreciate anyone that could steer me to where I could get a good igniter box that I am showing below:

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.

I'm almost certain I saw that very same one listed on eBay the other day while I was looking around on there. Get on there and search high and low.
I think I searched "Suzuki GS"

Did you try any of these tests? Just because your mechanic thinks it's the igniter doesn't mean it is. If he didn't run any tests he is shooting in the dark.
Here's how to check the igniter. Remove spark plugs 1 & 2 and ground them to the motor so they will fire when they get power. With the igniter facing you, the plug on the right side of the igniter is where the signal generator plug fits. The two terminals on the right side of that portion of the igniter will be pin 1 at the front and pin 2 at the back. The two left pins will be pin 3 in front and pin 4 at the back. Turn the ignition switch on. With a multitester set a the X1 ohm range put the + probe on pin 2 and the - probe on pin 1. Plug number 1 should fire. Next put the + probe on pin 4 and the - probe on pin 3. Plug number 2 should fire. If this happens the igniter is good then the signal generators are suspect.
As for testing the pickups, signal generators, measure the resistance between the two wires on each pickup. You should get somewhere around 130-200 ohms. If the resistance is infinity or less than spec they are shot.
To test the coils put one probe of the multitester on each of the terminals on the primary side of the coil. You should get 3-5 ohms. Check the secondary windings by placing one probe into each of the plug wires coming from one coil. Those would be 2 & 3 from one coil and 1 & 4 for the other. You should get 30-50,000 ohms for stock coils and 15-20,000 for aftermarket.

What Bill said! Then you won't even need the ignitor & I can get you the Dyna S for about $135-140. How much will another ignitor cost you & how long will the 30 year old part last vs a NEW Dyna S, which I have never yet seen a failure on. Ray.

+3 on what these guys are saying.
Check it yourself and if bad, replace with Dyna S. Even do a Dyna Coil relay mod at the same time. (even better)

Great jobs showing your bike, and parts that really helps for anyone trying to answer you
