I've been working with these modules on my falcon, very simple.

Looks like a great idea to me. I'd give it a go if my ignitor failed.

So is this an upgrade to the stock ignitor as good as a dyna?
Or is this just a stock replacement?

Also is that diagram and instructions for the GPZ the same for the GS?

If it was an upgrade it would be a hell of a deal.

[Dutch Jager]

yea I was wondering if this is aplyable to a gs

[Billy Ricks]

Probably not an upgrade, just a cheap alternative. The only requirement appears to be the correct resistance of the coils used. The GS coils fall into the correct range.

home made igniter for GS750

I would like to build one of these as my igniter has failed. Have you built any for GS's and were there any changes/mods to be made from the GPz setup? I have a 1980 GS750e.

[salty_monk]

No, just something I found online... for $40 I'd give it a go if I needed an ignitor though.

Should be no difference between a GPZ & a GS unless the trigger is different (don't think so but worth a check).

Yes the problem here seems to be the pickup. My GS has only two wires from the two pickups as they are in series. Other bikes have them in series with a center tap either to ground or with a 3rd wire back to igniter. Some have 4 wires back to the igniter from both sides of each pickup.
It may be possible if you run a third wire to the pickup.
I am in contact with Lou and hopefully he will be able to come up with a solution for the GS.

Excellent, I am buying the HEI modules today. Let me know if you hear of a solution!
