You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Whoops made a typo Terry. Its a 1979 GS1000EN. Yes I did buy it. Fixed a few niggles that it had and have ridden it once so far and it felt very nice. Hopefully get a little better weather and time can take a little longer jaunt before its all over around here. Has a couple upgrades I see so far, electronic ignition and K&N air filter.  You want that one in the container also  :D

Well done Eric, nice! EI is a good upgrade on the early models, from 1980 the factory EI worked great, although the "Black Boxes" occasionally crapped out, that's why I installed a Martek 440 and Dyna coils in mine, is that a Dyna 3 in yours? A mate of mine has a very original, (and neglected) 1980 GS1000E in his garage, I must pay him a visit........... ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I have not really checked out the ignition to see the brand yet Terry. The black box is mounted upside down on the frame under the tank and I have not checked out a logo etc yet if it has one and the blue color of the unit is darker than in the 'flashy' picture. Will have to pop the cover for a closer look.

Eric, that ignition plate looks exactly like my Andrews ignition I have for my KZ1000...mine looks like it's very similar to Dyna S-just the ignition plate and coils, no black box involved...however I have not tried to research it or use it and it is possible that I am missing the black box.

Yeah, looking at the plate it looks like a Dyna 3, they were a really good ignition, I've had a couple over the years and they chucked a nice fat blue spark. I don't know why Dyna stopped making them, except that they were about twice the price of the Dyna S.

I've got a very trick Gerex Multi Spark ignition for a GS1000 here, they went broke because they were awfully expensive, but were supposed to work well. Cheers, Terry. ;D
