Default EVO - What is your favorite Ignition System

Building this bike from frame up, I did not have a complete electrical system and wired it myself with points until I figure out what I really want. I know nothing about harley and after market electronic ignition systems, but I do know the difference between single fire and dual fire. There are quite a few of both types on the market. I have a 94 stock EVO engine but will upgrade it later so I want something that is flexible in that respect. I will never drag race it, maybe a little light to light with some friends, but I want reliable, fuel efficient and power just like everyone else (I know there is some give and take there).

So what is your favorite ignition system and why??

Without a doubt, I like the Dyna 2000 Digital system.
I had one on my '96 Road King, and never had a problem.
It is totally adjustable. No matter what engine mods you have, or will make, the Dyna will give you top performance.

Thanks for those opinions. I am looking at the Kendall Johnson Customs Ignition Module made by Twin Tec. Model number is 1005 and it has loads of features that I can not possibly out grow.

It has several advance curves built in and you can modify them or download your own with a PC or laptop. It can be set for Single or Dual Fire, use the VOES (or not) and has multi-spark options too.

Installed the Kendal Johnson (Daytona Twin Tec) electronic ignition and single fire coil. Set it for Single Fire with Multi-Spark enabled. Set it on advance curve 5 (stock Evo on 89 octane) and rev limit at 5700 (recommended for stock) Runs great, maybe a little less vibration at higher RPM but not as much as I was led to believe. Will report on Gas Mileage soon. I was getting 40-42 mph. Bike is 5 spd with stock pulley on the tranny and 70 tooth on the wheel. Tire is 250/40/18.

First tank with the new ignition 47 mpg. Plugs are a little to white (lean) so I have just put in the next size main and pilot jets.
