I received a new HD Lightning CDI today and quickly installed it on My Pig.
Very easy to wire. I cheated for the time being and used zipties to mount the coil, but plan on welding tabs to the frame eventually for a cleaner setup.
The included plug wire is very long and should work for almost any mounting you can imagine. I cut almost half off. Everything is very nicely made and looks good.
The electronics box is also ziptied for convenience since I'm eager to run this sucker!
Well all I have to say after my first ride is WOW! What a difference! My bike has lately been prone to annoying "hiccups" in the low end and midrange that felt to me like the spark was being blown out. Careful plug gapping had helped but never cured it and my jetting is now spot on since I finally got off my behind and drilled my own jets.
Well, this seems to confirm my suspicion because with the new ignition, it pulls clean and strong from idle all the way to scary vibration land. No more "hiccups" and it is clearly a much happier motor everywhere in the band. With the improved chamber of the fredhead and this new stronger spark, my otherwise stock engine is really running sweet! Everyone here knows how cheap I am and I'm thrilled with this ignition.
I don't do GPS and have no idea what my speeds are, but it feels faster everywhere in the band with improved throttle response and cleaner combustion. My seat-of-the-pants dyno says its working very well!
With these mods together on my stock, nothing special ebay engine, I'm happier than I have been yet!
Can't wait to get my GenV top end parts to see how this package acts on a decent bottom end with more rpm potential....
