New Dyna S ignition, and matched Dyna coils on the way! Also got my headlight bracket welded up. Should all be together by next week. I haven't ridden hardly at all this summer, and it's starting to get to me!

Well I got the ignition and coils. Unfortunately one of the coils was DOA, so I had to send it back. But she's all put together to ride for the rest of summer. Updates will slow down since I don't plan on much until winter. Stay tuned.

Well that time of the year is soon upon us. Been saving funds all summer, so this winter I'm going all out. Will completely tear her down and restore, along with some other changes.

Rear end swap w\ custom swingarm
Balance and blueprint the engine, possible displacement increase
Paint and lots of powdercoat

Plenty more, but I'm tired. Does anyone know of a shop that does exceptional work with these engines?

Everything is good now, probably 200 miles on it this week without any problems.
