Cam sensor price check
So I've got the obligatory melted cam sensor, which I kind of expexted. The original plan was to go with a new HD sensor and get a Dyna module that replaces the stock ignition box. Dealer says sensor part number is still good, and they can get it coming straight away....for 250 bucks....Is that price in the ballpark? I'm tempted to get a setup that goes in the cam chest like everyone else at that price....Thanks for any and all opinions!

OEM style replacement cam sensor pick up at Dennis Kirk, Amazon or ebay, for about 50 bucks.
Complete aftermarket nose cone units like (but not limited to) the dynatek 2000 or the ultima 53-644 get good overall reviews here. The dynatek seems to be better liked because the advance curves are not quite as aggressive as the Ultima, but the Ultima is a better price. Both units can have custom advance curves programmed in them if you get a data cable. There are many other types and brands available, just mentioning the few that seem to get mentioned the most on this forum.
I have the Ultima nose cone unit, it works fine, but again, the advance curves are a little aggressive (can be ping prone in the higher curves).
It's just a matter of preference and what you want. YD

Here's a 2ki for $161.45

Even with a cam sensor of $50 when you add the cost of a Dynatek 2000p it is more than than the 2ki alone.

I like that the 2000p is plug and play, but it does get pricey with the addition of the cam sensor. Next question, are the aftermarket cam sensors of decent quality? I did a quick search earlier this week and saw them for around 50 bucks, figured I'd pay maybe 3 times that at the dealer and was willingl to do so for oem quality, but 250 is out of the budget haha! i see the 2000i on amazon with coil for about 315 shipped. Is that worth it, considering my 47k mile original coil?

The D2ki that thc posted is your best bet. But if it's plug and play yes a Dynatek 2p module coupled with a Standard Motor Product MC-SPA3 has the correct duetch pin connectors and works perfect.... I've been using it for several years now in my upgraded shovel ignition as well as my 98 Fatboy..

Found it on Amazon, but says 94-95 FLT, still correct for my 97?

I have a 32448-95B with original box that has about 15 minutes run time on it. Paid Harley dealer $173 for it about 5 years ago. One of the parts that was replaced while chasing my dead cylinder problem that finally got fixed by going to carb. I'll take $100.00 shipped.
