That’s great thanks chaps for clearing up this. I had a horrible thought that it could be an alien head of some description
Cheers

Hi. Yes, I earthed it directly to the negative battery terminal. Thanks

Checked while running with multimeter, revved to 4K and volts stayed the same about 12.5 Pulled the side all apart and found that one of the copper coils looked black and burned out. Decided to buy a good u...

Hi, I’ve got a brand new Dyna S full kit which I brought November last year and never fitted as I sold the Z1 shortly after. It is the complete kit though and has the coils and leads, Think it was about £345 including my 10% discount. If you are interested, happy to let you have it for £275 includin...
