I'm considering a project bike for next year with megga cc etc. Has anyone ever converted a cylinder head to twin plug? :p :D :D :cool:

Yes, we recommend twin pluging for race bikes or above 1260cc, price is ?160.00, you will also need to double up on the coils, On mine I have fited 4 x DC2-1, these fit under the tank with a simple pair of angled brackets, For the second plug we use the NGK D9EA.

Mike,
I dont know if you have seen this?
In the for sale section there is a thread called "ohh suits you sir," with a link to an e bay sale of a supercharged zed.
If you read the ad he also has as spares an 8 plug head it may be worth seeing if he will sell that separetly.
Regards Steve R

I got my head done by Alan Cooper at Kipkawa, it made a difference as before it was pinking, now it runs well. I run a 4 coil system and by using Dyna ignition it is really easy to wire in.

Sounds to be the same set-up as me.
Dyna 'S' with four 1.5 ohm dyna coils wired in series.
Only a couple of link wires needed in addition to the original wiring.
