High Performance Ignitors for GL1100 lite review
I picked up a set of these ignitors and swapped the stock ones out. They have a slightly different mounting tab, so I attached them as shown in the picture.
Pretty much they were plug and play.
As with most mods of this type, the difference was subtle, but it does fire and idle better. With each little mod, it runs better and better. The MOSFET, the new ignitors, Iridium plugs, Accel coils, each added a little bit. Following is a video of how she sounds. I'm pretty happy right now.

Re: High Performance Ignitors for GL1100 lite review
Sounds good!!! Are those driving lights mounted just below the faux tank? If so what brand are they and how well do they work

Re: High Performance Ignitors for GL1100 lite review
Yes, the driving lights work well, don't know the brand. Have them hooked up with a relay to help with amperage. The exhaust is danmoto extreme canisters w/baffles.

Re: High Performance Ignitors for GL1100 lite review
Your bike sounds great.
I was thinking about replacing my original ones for something like these:
http://www.mandp.co.uk/index.php/defaul ... cb900.html
but not sure if it would make a difference. I had to clean out the gooey stuff at the back and used epoxy resin instead. They seem to work ok but after all, they are old now.
What do you think?
I was also toying with the idea of replacing the old but working coils, but where do you stop?

Where do you stop, indeed. And the site says only one left. And doesn't seem like much of an "upgrade". Don't fix what ain't broke,....unless its a vast improvement

Re: High Performance Ignitors for GL1100 lite review
That makes good sense to be honest, and found plenty on line David Silver, CMSNL, etc, but guess it's best to wait for them to fail completely.
Did anyone spot my mistake by putting the same post twice!
