     that model ign system was not very long lasting,      also it could be just a circuit breaker as well ,

    Zap, i'm a bit late i know.

    Well years back i had a dyna ignition on a shovel, never had it on long and it let me down half way up the Bells line road just out of Sydney, i was on my own no mobiles in them days m8.

    anyway the dyna ignition got the chop & i went to Compufire & that was many years back a mate still has that shovel & just road it up sunshine coast from sydney two months ago never missed a beat there and back. still with that same compufire ignition. so take up the offer!

    Check your ignition circuit breaker

    I had a 91FXR which did the same thing when new.

    Took it back to the dealer who had an auto electrician as the workshop supervisior and he picked it straight up.

    They are an automatic reset breaker which Harley ended up making it a recall.

    Scary thing when your in peak hour traffic and you lose all power.

    Got an email from him, he put his bike into a shop to get fixed and he`s sending the ign back to me, not sure what was repaired to get him going, would like to know.
