[QUOTE="slabghost, post: 183682, member: 648"] well you know what's said about opinions. Let's tackle the "Vastly overpriced " claim. Just how much would it cost for new everything ignition for any one of your bikes? Ignitors, pick ups, rotor, coils, advancer unit,and whatever else is there? C5 is a complete ignition system. How do you discount the improved idle immediately apparent once the C5 ignition is installed? Have you not viewed the before and after dyno test results on the C5 ignitions web site? And all of this improvement with a stock ignition curve utilized. I'm sure you advanced the ignition some for racing to improve power at higher rpm. Heavy pulls often require ignition be retarded some for more power in lower rpm. Like pulling a trailer full of gear and riding two up. Can you easily switch from stock to advanced or retarded with the flip of a switch? The C5 can. I'll not flame you and most likely no one else here will either. But it does seem you are missing some information. [/QUOTE]
