Default New Ignition

I decided that this bike deserves a new ignition system. It now has the factory original and is not working correctly. Already did all the tests and decided after reading Forum comments to purchase a single fire Ultima setup with everything. The programmable one I know is the Ultima 53-660. My question is do they make the complete setup ( coil, plug wires and all ) in a cheaper non-programmable model? Their website seems to show the entire kit in programmable only. I have no intention of buying the software to use this so why waste the money if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for the responses.

I posted something then realised that it was completely wrong, and the system would not let me delete it
