[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 165460, member: 2938"] HAPPY 2016 EVERYONE! Today I made the GL1500 prototype part that everyone has been waiting for. There is a cross drilled oil passage just inside the cam center and we're being careful to avoid blocking it. Honda oil seals will be used on this kit (same as the front seal). The shaft must be a tight "press fit" so it won't spin or come loose. My next step will be to make a "pre-production" part and install into an engine. I have someone in Florida who has offered to test ride since we are buried in snow and ice. I was talking with Ila Hallett (Louis' wife) about this project today since he was a huge part of it. We looked up what Honda charged back when they were available. The CDI controller for the '88 model was $761 and by the time you add the pulse generator, coils, and wires it would have cost over $1400. The '89 model was $1200 and the last year of production it had dropped to $890. I know with a decent production run we can stay well below that and it will be a superior ignition in many ways. Multi spark ignition, four timing maps, center adapter, base plate, gasket, aluminum cover, mounting hardware, three new micro coils, and all new spark plug leads. Unless you live in Wisconsin you won't even pay sales tax. Teaser....I would be VERY interested in "before and after" dyno runs with a 6 carb Valkyrie. With jetting I would expect a healthy power increase! [/QUOTE]
