I wonder if this gets rid of the ignitor as well? If so, it might help out those whose ignitor dies since they are so hard to findCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Yes, it gets rid of the ignitor -- it's a complete electronic ignition system with coils and wires. Everything is contained in the pickup and parts that go under the ignition cover.
One of the reasons they have a kit for the GS250-450 is in fact that these bikes have an ignitor that is prone to crapping out and Dyna doesn't make a replacement.
To me, Dyna's quality is a little questionable. I haven't installed that many Dyna ignitions, but I've already seen three kits that had defective modules. Once you get a Dyna kit that works (and doesn't crap out when it gets hot), they've generally proven quite reliable. I'm guessing that they've fixed these QC problems by now, but I don't know.
The cost is an issue compared to the plain-jane Dyna kits. Compared to anything else with any degree of programmability, it's a about the same.
A C5 GS850 kit is $439, which includes the ignition, coils, and spark plug wires.
A complete Dyna S GS850 setup (Dyna S, coils, and wires) is right at $301.
However, the C5 kit is more comparable to the programmable Dyna 2000, which includes a programmable ignition and coils (but no wires) at $425. Wires are another $18 or so for a total of $443. The Dyna does depend on a magnetic pickup, which is less precise.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
