Hard wire ignition module or sell?
As often happens I pulled the trigger on a perceived good deal before fully researching. I bought a dynatek ignition module with a super coil for $140. Problem is I bought a module with the 8 pin harness assuming I could just get the 8 pin to 7 pin adapter. It turns out I do not even have the seven pin plug. Donated makes a harness that will make it 7 pin for $75. I would still need the adapter ($40). Is it possible to hardwire the module straight in like the stock module or should I sell it back on eBay and try to start buying proper parts.

When I converted my 98 mmi to carb, I cut the old connector off leaving enough wire to solder too, and wired an nose cone ignition (Ultima 53-644) to the original connector, so I didn't have to splice into the main harness (kind of like adding the old connector to the new ignition.

You don't have a 7 pin or an 8 pin harness????
Is that correct?
Did someone put a custom harness on your bike??
If you don't have a plug for the ignition module I would get one that fits in the cam chest and go from there.

Stop ***** footing around and just cut the connectors off and hard wire it using a terminal strip (or solder if your so inclined)

Here is how things now look on my FXR - It looks worse than it is as the loom also supports a laptop connection, Tacho, Pressure/Temp sensors and a Wideband O2 system.

No 7 pin or 8 pin harness on mine, just wires from the module running to the lower part of the gram and ending in a round connector that I have not come across in any ignition module offerings.

Sounds like a plan. Happen to know which wires to splice together? My wiring diagram in my clymers is terrible. Or at least my ability to understand it is.

The schematic is in the installation instructions for the module, just look on the Dynatek website. http://dynaonline.com/support/downlo...NA%202000%20HD
I have seen 7 and 8 pin harnesses for sale. The connector will let you swap modules easily for troubleshooting or tuning.
If the part number of your new module has a P at the end it is PC programmable with Curvemaker software and one of these: https://sites.google.com/site/vrusb2000i/
