Guess most of you are getting pretty bored with my slow process with this conversion--- I have been asking questions for about a year now. Well, work life, and weather seems to always get in the way (We can ride here in New Mexico almost every month). I think I have hammered down most of the fine points via the net and books, but there is always one more question. The latest is--- If I install the V-Twin 883 to 1200 conversion kit (which is sitting on my shop work bench) , do I have to mess with the ignition module? My bike is a 2005, and has the SE intake and filter, Cycle Shack slip ons, and the correct jets all around. An independent (ex HD) wrench says I will have to go to HD for a new module. HD says that there will be no problem, no need for a 1200 cc module. Any thoughts?

seeing as how your carbed, i dont feel a need for a new ign module. you have the required jets, aircleaner, pipes. the only thing your module can do for you is timing, and i believe both are the same.....but, i may be mistaken lets see if some one else has some input on this.......

You don't need to replace the module, it works with the 1200 kit. The only thing you would need a new module for is to increase the RPM limiter if you so desired.

During my fight with my 883 I at one point thought the ICM was out on it. I purchased this one from J&P. J&P Cycles - Motorcycle exhausts, seats, mirrors, and more It came with all the software and cables, but I did have to buy one adaptor to make it work with my old laptop. It comes set up for the 1200, and gives you full access and control of your settings. I later got the bugs worked out of mine and figured out the ICM was not bad (OOPS) and pulled this out of my bike. When I finally get around to bumping the ol girl up I will put it back and go to tweaking more.
