    Can't say it's "regular", like meeting every Tuesday, but we see each other often enough.

      Got my Dynatek S kit in late last week and spent a couple hours in the garage with it. Dynatek doesn’t have a GS450 kit, but with minor modification they recommended the kit for the GS400. They supplied a nice little spacer for the pickup coil hardware, and recommended clearancing the plate to give the oil pressure switch some room. It doesn’t actually touch, but it sure is close.

        Well after 5 weeks of not riding, it’s alive! The Dynatek S install was pretty straightforward, although I did go to automotive school. I think it would’ve been much more daunting without some electrical knowledge. I did have to relocate the coils because the Dyna ones didn’t fit under the tank. Fortunately I had some space under the seat since I’ve got cone filters. Also went with a 15/45 chain & sprockets (stock is 16/43 I believe) which didn’t really change the power band much. In retrospect I would’ve liked a little more low-end since I generally stay off the highway. Very excited to be back on the road.
