[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 42219, member: 597"] I believe the case and cover should have "O" ring grooves installed to help seal the unit from moisture ingress, after all there is no points assembly and so on, so why should the unit have to "Breath" as it were. It has been an issue with some of these mags that are used by owners who ride in all types of weather, and upon cooling down, draw in moisture which starts the internals to corrode away nicely causing isses......there have been problems with the HT coils to, but they may have addressed that one. Also I think the mounting strap could be a bit better, as most who have installed these units know...there isn't much room to keep it all behind the cowl, and also keep it clear of the prop stand springs.....the plastic insullated HT lead melts upon contact with the barrel/ head fins, a silicone type outer insulation would help here......should I stop now....!! Generally I have found them to be a good unit.....but some have had issues....Greg. [/QUOTE]
