G'Day Mick, I replied to your PM but I thought I'd kick your thread along too, I've got a Gerex ignition in my garage for a GS1000 Suzuki, it came off an RC GS1000, Russ had come a long way since the CB750 Cobra engines and was using some good US made aftermarket stuff by 1980.
The "Multi-Spark" or "Multi-Fire" ignitions were very expensive compared to Dyna's and Marteks, and that's what killed them, but I believe that they worked well, mine came from a running bike that the original owner was restoring, but the ignition had lasted 20 years when I bought it, so I'm sure that yours will be a goer too.
The only thing I'd say against them is that there are a lot of parts and brackets etc, and they probably don't work any better than the Dyna's or Marteks of the same era. Cheers, Terry.
