new to me 1978 KZ 1000

You might want to start with a set of "air correctors" from Zed1015 and then go from there, he will best advise on jet sizes

Thanks Wookie
I'll give him a shout.

I've decided to go with electronic ignition. I'm having issues with 2,3 cyl coil. 
With all the reading I've done on this site. I should go with a DynaTek  DS2-1 electronic ignition and a set of DC-1 coils 3 ohm ( the green ones).
Am I correct in all my reading/ studying !?
Never had any luck with knock offs, so we won't go there.
Also, where's a good place to get a Shindengen SH775 R/R.  Looked all over the net, can't seem to find an authentic one.
Unless I'm looking with my eyes closed, like my wife likes to say!
Thanks

Ed (Nessism) seems to be the guy who always knows where to procure the Shindengen SH775 RR's. He's also the guy who can best explain why it's the superior RR.

The DS2-1 with 3 ohm coils should get the job done

I bought a used genuine SH775 that was on a 2013 Polaris RZR800 ATV off Ebay, it was about $100 Canadian all in. I have been using it on my 750 for 4 seasons with no issues.



I made up my own mini harness with cheap plug ends off of Ebay as well. Search "voltage rectifier connector for 675 1050R T2500676" at the time they were less than $20 for the set.

Search for a wire diagram on here.

If you have a local motorcycle/atv salvage you could check there, would be cheaper but you have to bring a meter to check it on the spot.

Thanks guys. 
Just wanted to make sure.

To find a SH775 search eBay for "710001103" or "4012941".  Toggle "used" and sort by price.  Look for one in decent shape that has "SH775" printed on the top fin.  Inspect the photos carefully to make sure the plastic connector isn't damaged.  That's the most common problem, other than corrosion, that I've found.  I've bought and resold dozens of them.  I have a couple right now if you can't find one on ebay.  I test them on my 750, and have never found one that didn't work properly.  They are very robust.

 

Thanks Ed
I looked around a bit on line, but didn’t see any with the SH775 on the top fin. Like you’ve mentioned before.
i will look around some more.
