dyna s z1 //gs

[mick znone]

hi guys, a sensible question from me, i could do with a proper answer, but also welcome as many daft comments as you can give.
these dyna s ignitions, are they universal, would the z900/1000 dyna s fit a gs 550 I'm not buying a gs, i just need to know, not that there is anything wrong with the gs range, I've had a couple in the past. its just a question, thanks to one and all.

Mick, they have different part no's according to Dyna'a website.
I am sure someone with more experience of Dyna systems will be able to help.

Mick - it'll work OK, but to get it to fit may need a bit of "giggy-giggy"

Even tho' the GS range blatantly copied the Zed, the dimensions for the bits & bobs are probably different........

Also the trigger (rotor that fits on the advance unit) may need "tweaking to fit on the end of the crank

Suck & see

thanks Piggy, thats the answer i needed, good man.

i have fitted a gpz1100 dyna s to a gs1000 using a gpz750 dyna back plate (which fits perfectly) and it works spot on.

The pickups are the same. The backplate is different. The rotor (with the magnet) is the same diameter, but is cut differently to fit on the end of the Suzuki crank. The magnet is set at a different angle on the GS version as those bikes have slightly different ignition timing.
