How many of you guys have bought yourself one of these to replace the stock unit as a pre-emptive decision based on past performance stats ie. leaving you broke down or some such AND / OR, the procom cdi also offers other features?

...

Just interested in your thoughts on this one?

I don't have a direct answer, but I do know many folks here stockpile parts due to limited availability of Triumph parts in general. To those of us with short riding seasons, a week or four can fairly ruin a Summer. I lost two months of riding last Summer - 4 weeks of that were due to incorrect parts shipments & parts availability issues. With a 6 & 1/2 months riding between road salt deployments, 2 months was a very very long time. I can usually squeak in 10 or 12,000 miles in 6 months. Last season I did 4 or 5,000.


To make a long story longer, if I had an extra $200 I'd buy an extra igniter. Money is a little tight right now though. My health insurance costs me $17,000 (not a typo - seventeen thousand) per year for two people, if you count in the $5,000 HSA deductible. That's around 4 months of wage for me.

(I'd want to believe the guy who came up with the HSA
concept is the same guy who invented spring loaded bathroom
sink faucets and blow driers instead of paper towels to dry
your hands. May his days in He|| be especially 'warm.')
