With all the time spent designing the C5 Performance GL1000-1100-1200 kit, and with the untimely passing of Louie my Goldwing mentor, the GL1500 ignition project came to a grinding stop this year.
I can happily announce the emails lately begging for me to finish the 1500cc kit have inspired me to pick up my tools and push forward with a kit.
UPDATE:
We have new coils being built that will allow the stock coils to be left in place (not sure about the Valkyrie but the Wing coils are buried deep inside).
Also, the ignition module itself is being redesigned and the dimensions are changing. I cannot finish the project until the new ignition is finished. I am told they will begin to arrive at my shop in a week or two for testing.
Will the kit be different than the 4 cylinder kits? YES
What is different? The 6 cylinder engine has a hollow camshaft that requires a special adapter before the oil seal can be installed.
Also the controller is different to run three coils instead of just two.
Will it fit the Valkyrie? YES, I have a gentleman in Florida who is eagerly awaiting our first kit. He will install the complete kit on his bike and provide photos, feedback, and design suggestions for a complete Valkyrie kit.
What will it cost? I don't know yet until the cam adapter is designed and we have a price. I expect it to be around $800 with three coils, wires, adapters, and ignition module but that is purely a guess.
When can I get one? I am hoping to have the new coils and adapter completed before the end of 2015 and will post news here and at our website www.c5ignitions.com
