Chad - Any time you're ready for me to get that bracket fabricated, just let me know.  My machinist can work from sketches, or if you can drop off the cylinder they could fabricate something to fit.  I almost rode the bike to work today.  I think it hit 65 degrees.  When I was in Brownsville last week it was in the 90's for a couple days, but on Saturday we got caught in the rain and the temp dropped to the low 50's.  Of course we didn't have any rain gear and the 40 mile ride home was very chilling.  By the way, the new Magna ran great.  I put on a windshield, new mirrors, and I got the Honda engine guards.  Now I only need another Mustang seat.

I've been emailing back and forth with Dave Dodge trying to get the performance parts I started this post about. He seems to think there's an issue with the Dyna Wires, he's under the impression that they no longer provide a water tight seal on the "Valve Covers" and that moisture is able to go down into the spark plug cavity and rust out the plugs.

Can anyone confirm this, either

A) the Dyna Wires do seal the valve cover and it's not a problem

B) the Dyna Wires don't seal the cover, but the plugs are still fine

C) the Dyna Wires don't seal the cover and the plugs rust out

Cheers,

Justin

The dyna wires come with ends on them already. One wire will do the entire bike. I still have one left over with the ends on it. for the rear coil, I used the long boots that came on it. for the front, i cut off the ends and installed  a 90 degree boot if i remember correctly. the wires(or coils-i forget) come with new and different boots and metal inserts that go inside the boot. for the wires that go on the spark plug end, i cut off the ends too. the old wire comes out of the cap fit for the bike with a little force. you then can insert a new wire in it's place. inside the honda spark plug boot is a little metal poker that will make contact with the spark plug core. i used a little dielectric grease to aid in the insertion ontop of the silicone jacketed wires. i think the 7mm ones will fit without doing this, but i already got the 8mm wires.  here are some pics of the wire when you get it, and a pic of the wires on the bike with the honda cap. hope this helps :) Also there is a pic of the dyna 3000 module on the bike. the pics probably don't look that good, they were taken with my cameraphone. the batteries died in my real cameras. :(
