[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 100492, member: 3625"] Bruce is right here. The Dyna booster is no miracle device. Its main purpose is to extend point life. The other benefits I mentioned are probably marginal in effect but the main one is real. It cuts the current through the points to something negligible. It's the current that cause the arc between the points each time they open or close. It's that arc that causes them to pit and need replacement early. One more thing. If the booster burns out, it just takes a few minutes to switch the wires around and let the points work the old way. I hope I don't sound like I'm promoting something in which I have no financial interest. I just think it's one way to improve a battery-coil ignition system. I have a friend with two Rapides who is very happy with his Harley-based Pazon ignition setup. His bikes run very well indeed. Since mine is a D and came with battery-coil-distributor ignition, I used that as a starting point, first having the distributor rebuilt, then "stoning" the point cam to get proper timing on both cylinders and finally the booster. It works well. It's not the only solution. Gary [/QUOTE]
