Well the hits just keep coming...had my replacement engine stored in a shared garage and several components were stored in labeled ziploc baggies; flywheel, generator, misc gears and ignition pickups...that didn't stop a denizen of the shared garage from taking my stuff when he packed up and split. the 2 piece sensor/pickups + bracket are gonna be reeeeaal pricey to replace.

Sellers are getting $150 for crusty ones, would rather buy new but I can't find any suppliers. For what it's worth I will be running an Ignitech unit, maybe that increases my options? If there's a chance I can get an upgrade out of this then that's my silver lining.

Everything you don't see that should be in these pics is what I need to replace, minus the covers themselves...it's tough to track everything down with my 900ss parts diagram because the exploded view shows a reverse image of the cover with the parts flying into it, and that just hurts my head. If you happen to notice anything besides the generator, sprag, flywheel, and pickups please point it out. The previous owner had begun to disassemble the entire engine to "hot rod" it, then quit on the project.

Thanks doods.

I knew they had the modules/black boxes, wasn't aware they had pickups, thanks I'll look into that Koko

edit: ok, great I see the P08's...any reason the change in resistance (100>460) with the P8 units would cause probs with the Ignitech?

also, do you think the Electrex might be an upgrade at all? any noticeable improvement?

They work fine, but just a replacement AFAIK.  I got mine off Brad and he doesnt report any issues. Worked well with Exactfit and Dyna coils on my M900.

I've had Electrex pickups on my 97 m900 for three years now. No problems with the different resistance. Good price and quick delivery to Oz.

Guys I can't quite tell if the Electrex come with the appropriate connectors? Looks like bare wires in the pics...I'll order em from Ducati if not, they are only .99.

Memper...dude I don't know WTF. I'm beginning to get a chip on my shoulder over all this BS though...I'm building this muther*** bike back up 10X better than it was if it costs me everything...wife, car, life savings, self respect, etc and nothing is stopping me. Might hit the gym, get a job as a Chippendale or something so I can afford some Carrozzeria wheels while I'm at it.

I have some that I had made up.  Send me pics of your current ones with dimensions.

The connectors or the pickups, Tiz?

Why not hardwire it and ditch the connectors?

Best I can do is a pic of the same part #...all carbed Ducs used the same dual Kokusan pickup system, no? If you have them I want em!
