[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 129431, member: 2708"] The AliExpress unit might be fine or it might be like the unreliable Chinese rec/regs Alton used to supply ten years ago. Same with the Trispark, although there will be some of those out there being used in the real world. Trispark has had problems with failure rate in the past, Norton EI ignitions come to mind There are thousands of Podtronics out there and they have done millions of miles over a couple of decades now. The failure rate is very low. I just reinstalled a twelve year old unit and I expect it will see me out. Same with Shindengen if you like the switching idea. There are lots of those in use on modern bikes as well. The MOSFET Shindengen seems to be the go to unit when factory regs fail, as they like to do on 02-07 Triumph Daytonas. $160 isn't a lot for a fit and forget unit, but the trick is to make sure that you get an authentic Shindengen, not a fake. Avoid eBay on this! I keep a tray full of fake NGK plugs just to remind myself of that problem. Glen [/QUOTE]
