And if you get one, make sure that they know up front that you'll be returning it if it sends your speedo off by 20%.

 

my advice would be save your money a buy a daytona twintec tc88 ignition. it has a lot more features and is more tuneable. I don't know if you are planning to ever do a 1200 kit but this is the ignition of choice for most with sportsters.

Guess I'm from the school of "if it isn't broken don't fix it", and I'm still running the stock ignition on my modified '05 1200C.

The bike starts right up and runs great, even after adding the Screamin' Eagle "E" cams. No ignition problems at all, and the timing curve allows me to run regular 91/92 octane fuel in the 100+ degree summer months without worries.

The stock ignition allows me to run up to 6,000 RPM if I want (which I don't), the speedometer is accurate, and the engine runs clean, no matter if it is 30 degrees, or 105 degrees outside.

I can't see any reason for "upgrading" the ignition.

Maybe if I was running a highly modified engine on the race that needed to be run at very high RPM's all the time it would be different, and I might want to play around with timing curves, but I don't need that for normal street use.

 

Normal use - yeah, it's completely unnecessary. But, if your riding style has you constantly bouncing off the limiter (which is even lower on the 883's), or if you're planning other mods like heads and cams, then the TC88A module is a must.

 

Well thanks for the input but i think ill still put it on, going for some big mods within the year that will benefit from a little better spark action, 44mm carb and intake mani., and 1200 cyl. and pistons. i was told the same when i put on my 6AL MSD igntion on my 69 chevy, but i race it and need some serious sparks to keep that bad boy going at high revvs. (plan on racing the sporty at Gateway Intl. in St Louis, hopefully this summer)

 

If you plan on racing it and doing a good amount of motor work with your bike, why would not want to have a ignition that is a lot better. The Twin-Tec would be a lot better for you then the SE unit. You should really look into this alittle further before you actually buy it.
