I like the module outside the cone.. I think the heat does something to them.. And Yes as Racepres says, he likes the Sportster modules, they work good too... I think it's the J model module that is the aggressive one on the sportsters..
I'm on board with the heat theory. I can't think of a reason outside of a 'clean' custom build to keep it all in the cone. I've never met electronics that like it warmer.

It's cool under the panel and easy access.

My old Crane looked different than the new SS. I would hope they would try to make a better product over the years. I'm not the only one who had problems with it. Crane knew they produced a bad product.

That is an Ignition "System"

My apologies.
Probably why I ride a Twinkie!
The clarification is appreciated.
