FYI, I am too looking through ignition options at the moment.

The magical words are
Its seems to be a programmable ignition with settings via Windows
hundreds of them road tested
Not that many programmable around. Not that I need one right now but maybe is something worth check out

definitely looks interesting
this thing has everything, even an option for different curves for different loads
I have a PAMCO currently but if it dies I will get hooked up with a Trispark.
I think the Boyers are good, but seem to be a little "finicky" based on a number of comments on this forum. I also think the Trispark may be a newer design, as BB has not changed much over recent years. And the TS design in some ways reminds me of the robustness of the Dyna products over the years (had a number of those). Admittedly, all just personal opinion.
At the end of the day, either choice will likely provide you with long, reliable service. All the best!

Geez, all that stuff costs more than I paid for the whole bike, lol.
all, I have been in contact with Stephan, the man behid Innognition, and he now has a batch of ignitions available for sale. Shipping to the US is a bit involved. Anyone interested in a group order?
Last few times you synced the carbs, do you remember having to make a big adjustment on the linkage screw?
I put the carb stix on it and had one high, one low. After adjusting them to even, nothing was working properly. At least a full turn on the sync adjust screw.
I had a throttle shaft seal leak. FWIW

Dave when I synced the carbs there wasn’t much adjustment. I had replaced the shaft seals and when I did a leak check there was none. I have another set of carbs to try before moving forward, just waiting on a little warmer weather because it’s just a little too cold outside right now to worry about it.
That looks really nice! Looks like an easy install as well?
looks easy. I just need to make a few bullet connectors to accomodate the single coil setup. Also want to revisit the cam shaft seal on the advancer side.
Innogtion installed and the bike fired up right away. Having an issue with advance at high RPM (way too much), but the idle is fine. Sorting it out with Stephan.

played with Innognition. great fun! tried out a few maps.
Some photos of the completed install:
the idle is super steady and does not jup around
tried a few curves. The resommendation from Smed Speed: more advance through the range by extend to 3500 rpm and even out at 36-38 degrees. Also tried to add more advance at where I have valve overlap when an exhaust wave is coming back. Overall the smed speed curve feld best. much more linear power than the pmaco/mechanical advance i used to have.
Ultimately I will book a dyno session to play with the advance. in the meantime, will strap the wide band sensor and see what AFR does at 2500 as move advance around in that region.
