aftermarket coils.

[slick]

Anyone running aftermarket coils on their second gen RSTD? did you notice enough of a difference to justify the cost? also would like to know if you are running hotter coils and aftermarket exhaust did you change anything in the carbs? thanks for any input

I am running aftermarket exhaust, not aftermarket coils. No serious changes to the carbs are needed. I did shim the needles, got a little crisper throttle, and took care of the off throttle popping. Checked it with an exhaust analyzer, and it's dead nuts on through the entire throttle range.

I have heard good reports using the Dyna ignition box, it allows you to adjust the advance curve and the rev limits. I haven't spent the $ to see it first hand though. I would try the ignition box first before buying new coils, that might get you what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
