Topic: Dyna III ignition price

[MRieck]

If the main problem with the Dyna III is the heat it is subjected to when mounted under the fuel tank, where is the best place to mount it?

On the front left rail below the left sidecover...right in the crotch there...just enough romm. That's on F's and F2's. I had one there for over 12 years.

If you go to the gallery and look at my bike(personal albums,page 4,pic # 1-the right side) You will see my Dyna 2000 box right behind the kick starter under the pod filters.What I did was make a U shape bracket and mount the tops to the tabs that used to hold the upper stock air box on.The 2000 box is rubber mounted to the bottom of that bracket.I couldn't find a suitable place anywhere on the bike to mount it.I asked people here where they mounted their's but got no replies.Now if you are running stock air box,I still wouldn't know where it could be mounted.

Terry. I'm also in the process of replacing the points with a Dyna III and for coils I'm using a factory set from a 1979 CB750. They are 3 Ohm and the plug wires are replaceable. $5.00 on ebay.

Thanks mate, I've got a set of later Honda coils like those, I haven't tried them yet, does anyone know how they compare ("spark energy" wise) to the Dyna coils? Cheers, Terry.

Thanks Mike, I'll try it there. Those K8 rubber carb manifolds arrived this week mate, thanks for that! Cheers, Terry.
