Since I installed the 1200 big bore on the sporty I'm getting the dreaded pinging above 80k's. Now, I know to fix this it's most likely the ignition. I'm still running the 883 ignition module which is un-suitable for the 883/1200 motor. I've been looking for a 1200 module to suit this bike but there aren't many around as it's an old bike. So I've been looking at after market modules. Has anyone got any good solutions for an older bike.
I've seen this module by Daytona that might do it, it says it suits 90-94 XL's, has anyone has any experience with them?

G'Day KC,
That should fix your pinging , 883 ignition is too advanced for the 1200.
The Daytona module should fit right in without rewiring hassles, and you can play around with curves
and cope with changes to pipes,carb etc with minimal hassle.
Cheers,
Cris.
KC, i agree the Daytona Twin Tech is a good set up same as the Crane. Compu fire had a good bullit proof set up that just about lasts forever and real tough coil, but don't think they are around now.
Also what is your cranking pressure? & what Carb are you useing? as the carb tune can also cause pining issues if on lean side.

Thanks dudes, the Twin Tec sounds good.
Yes KK, it's a good point, I'm running a stock CV carb from '06 sporty, I had some issues with fouling plugs with the old one, but it is running lean. I may richen it up and try it for a few weeks to see if that fixes it before splashing out on the ignition upgrade.
I have a Fully programmable Compu fire ign you can try, if it works make me an offer, i`m never going to use it. PM me if interested. Electric start only.
The part no is 21832.
