It works great. Being a stock kind of guy, I don't change anything away from stock unless absolutely necessary and this is the single best thing you can do.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I am a "Stock Jock" as well but some modern tec. Can make life a little easier. Can = meaning seams somethings made nowa days ends up junk quickly. Old reliable works good to. I am going to order the kit asap and of corse keep OLD parts for the day the New Stuff dies and I still want to RIDE. Keep It Alive Looking Like The Day It Was Made. STOCK ROCKS

Oh, you never mentioned you wanted to be reliable! :ohmy:

For reliability you must NOT use the crimp-on power connector provided by Dyna. There have been many, many, many (you get the idea) reports from members that describe intermittent Ignition failures traced to Dyna’s provided insulation displacement type (+) Battery connection! :angry:

Splice, solder and heat shrink tubing connection or an OEM Bullet to Socket connector system or an automotive connector system... anything other than the Dyna connection system has provided reliable use. Act accordingly.

Here is how I did mine:



Note:
-1) On my bike I added a separate 5 Amp fuse circuit just for the Coils. I did this for easier troubleshooting/fault location... which has not been necessary so far.

-2) As you can see I used the OEM Bullet and socket connector system which I got from a trusted supplier, Z1.

Terminal Pin B1 Male - 10 pack. Link

Terminal Cover B3 Male - 10 pack. Link

Terminal Pin B2 Female - 10 pack. Link

Terminal Cover B4 Female - 10 pack. Link

-3) I wanted to keep the Oil Pressure light feature but the original Dyna cable did not include the Blue/Red wire! So I added a Blue/Red circuit and shrink tubed the lot together.

Best of success. :)

I will use your advise, I plan to make it as original as possible (Looking and Proper), using your ideas and keeping it the way IT should have been Made. More like a newer Bike with Factory or OEM Electronic ignition already installed.Thanks again for your input.
