Dyna S: step #11 12v splice?

[Guest]

I am in the middle of installing my dyna s ignition on my 77 gs550 and I am stuck at step 11. I don't fully understand? I scowred the Internet for information on installing with photos/video and nobody shows this step. So if somebody could please post a photo of how the splice is suppose to look. I read it's better to use the brake wire so photo of that would be ideal or if somebody could walk me through better than the instructions it would be most appreciated.


thanks

I don't have any photos available, but you have a 12 volt line running to both coils (orange, with white stripe). Splice into that for power. That wire runs from the "kill" switch to the coils, and is the most logical place to power the Dyna.

Not sure why a suggestion would be made to tap into the brake wire, unless it is simply easier to get to.

Not sure what instructions the op is referring to but the dyn-s instructions (Especially the schematic )have looked at appear a little funny at first. Agree that dyna should be powered from the O/W. It is avaliable at the original ignitor plug along with ground and all the other coil signals.

Nevermind I figured it out, i think I was just tired and not understanding things correctly.

Except that his '77 550 does not have an "original ignitor plug".

I was going to post "go to the fuse box then" but that 550 probably doesn't have one of those either

[Steve]

Nope, just a single fuse.
