Default ignition

Whats a good candidate for replacing the ignition on an 80 evo. I just went through putting a cam in and noticed the ignition module looks to be melting. Why would that be? The bike is a 1995 Fatboy. Was looking at the dynatec 2000i.

I am using the Dynatec 2000i on mine. I used one on the last one also and it worked great.

D2ki are running $235. A stock type timing sensor to replace the melting one is about $55.

There is no power gain from a nose cone module but they make it easy to set timing correctly

I like the Ultima Dyna clone, but it's been a minute since I priced one.

Is that the benefit of the D2Ki setting the timing easier? What about response? Any improvement there? Thanks

Whats the lifespan on one of these? What was the advantage of not going with the cheaper stock sensor? What other benefits do you get with it? Thanks

The two following links are probably one of the better ignition systems to get because you're keeping them out of the heat of the nose cone. And no there's more to it than just easier to set base timing.. it actually helps with easier starting and with the selectable ignition curves you can move your power around a little bit by getting a little bit more advanced in the lower end without getting too much to cause pre ignition.

The dynatek 2000 P HDE that I listed there is for 96 and up.. I don't know what year your bike is but they also make them for earlier model 7 pin connections.

The only thing you need in the nose cone is Standard Motor Products mc-spa 3 which I provided a link for down below that again is for 96 and newer because of the 8 pin Deutsch connectors. You can't go wrong with that ignition system.. It'll last you your lifetime.


EDITED: Forgot to mention, this is all plug n play without having to do any additional wiring like you have to with the 2ki in the nose cone as well as the Ultima in the nose cone..

Awesome @98hotrodfatboy the sensor in my 89 looks to be leaking goo also, so I'll pick this one up if I need to. https://www.partsgiant.com/p350789-s...embly#v=118012
