Ignition upgrade 1983 FXR
Time to replace my original V fire II ignition. Ultima 53-644 is the way I want to go, this is just the electronic module keeping the system dual fire. Ultima sells a kit 53-660 that includes a single fire coil, wires etc. I can buy just the module for around $140 or the whole single fire kit for $190. Is their single fire coil any good? It is a single unit with two plug wires and 3 terminals, one for switched ignition power, one for front cylinder and one for rear cylinder.

I thought the Dynatek 2000i and the Ultima 53-644 were the same.
Now that I have been able to find the advance curve for both units, I see that the Ultima has a more aggressive curve, curve #1 shows full advance of 34 degrees at 2500RPM. The Dynatek curve #1 looks like full advance of 35 degrees at 3000 RPM. My manual has full advance of 35 degrees at 2000 RPM, which curve is better for a stock bike?

Where the rub is - if you wanna use a kicker, you have to buy a programming cable and change them to zero dead revs, otherwise you'll be hard pressed to kick it thru fast enough for it to start. They're both preset to 3 dead revs.
You also need a VOES to get the full driveability out of it, or you can ground the module wire for it and it'll advance like flyweights on a points setup.

Why do you run the Ultima 53-644 instead of the Dynatek 2000i on your shovels, other than price point? Do you static time your Ultima or dynamic time?
