Pamco ($) or cyclex power-arc ($$$)

or hondaman or boyer or dyna... options are plenty. they're all "good". depends on what you're looking for and want to spend.

 The only one I would stay away from is the Dyna. I have no personal experience with them, but there are enough threads about failures and the zero customer service that I'd be very leery about using one. You see the random guy that says "I've had one on my bike for twenty years". But for every one of those, there are many more failures.

i can't comment as i don't have a dyna and haven't been in touch with them as having one sent over to europe seemed a bit unnecessary. boyer is my side of the pond and their support was very good when i asked for specific info before buying.

I know Dyna had some QC issues about 10 years ago or so with pickups crapping out on people, as I was one of them. Despite my ignition being well out of warranty, they replaced it for half of what it would have cost for a new one. I have always been able to get detailed and concise information when I have called them.

Beyond that, there is probably no other aftermarket ignition with as many trouble-free miles on the market today.
