They reprogrammed the computer to fake it but it really sounds nothing like the good old points fired motors.

—”Harley Davidson switched to electronic ignition the engine lost the skip “

Can you link to anyone who returned to the old wasted spark system?

I’ve been on my airhead BMW for years and not HD for years, but this makes no sense???
