Default Ignition module

Is there a consensus amongst the esteemed EVO crew as to what ignition module would be best for a ‘96 Electra Glide?
Asking for a friend. He asked me and I told him I’d ask the experts in here.
Seriously.
Be gentle.
Thanks for the help.

The Ultima 53-644 is a good choice. It replaces everything in the cone and does away with the separate ignition module and is programmable. Cant beat it for the price

There will be lots of replies and opinions!

My personal choice is the Dynatek 2ki.
While the Ultima seems a solid choice it's made in China and I avoid products made in China.

If [big word] we are talking ignition "Module"... I tend to use the Module from Sportsters... long as plug is same... faster Advance, and higher Rev Limit!!!
Cheap also!!!!!

Dyna 2ki is my vote. Actually for that bike I wouldn't mind a Dyna S either

I've had issues in the past with the D2KI, not sure if I like the entire module down there in all that heat. Three years ago maybe longer I went to screamin eagle ignition modules which were made by Dynateck with selectable curves but I'm using a hall effect pickup (made by Standard Motor Products) down in the cone... 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..

Took a screen shot of another thread talking about this and if your worried about heat I wouldn't worry to much about the ultima or 2ki

Thanks for the help, guys.
He's currently running a Crane HI4 and thinks it may have gone south.

Ultima 53-644 is a good ignition module for the money, made by Dynatek, I have used them with no problems and lasted a long time

The HI4's are made or rebranded through S&S. Not sure if there's been any changes in manufacturing.
