If you need just an ignition sensor plate "Standard Motor Product" makes an MC-SPA-2 and can be found here.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Standard+Motor+product+mc-1601&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l13 13.TR0.TRC0.H0.XStandard+Motor+product+mc-spa-2.TRS0&_nkw=Standard+Motor+product+mc-spa-2&_sacat=0
I used the MC-SPA-3 for the 96 up harley's. the only difference is the connectors on the ends of the wires.. I wired it in to my SE programable ignition that I took off my 98 Fatboy and put on my 77 Shovel FXE. Works like a charm...
Oh yea I run the Dyna 2ki on the Fatboy...

Nota lot of literature out there on them. The only difference in most of them is the terminal end connectors. They're all Hall effect pickups. The only difference between the Oem and this one is that the OEM has what's called and altitude switch built in that is supposed to kill the ignition if you lay the bike down...
