Post by: matthew29 on February 21, 2012, 11:25:24 AM
If anyone has a real Vance and Hines ignition advancer that will fit on a 01 gs500 i would really like to buy it.  If anyone has one to part with please let me know.

The cheaper solution is DIY advancer mod found on gs-wiki.
And it works too.

I'd suggest contacting Bob Broussard. He just modded my stock rotor and it is perfect. Only took a week round trip (MD to CA and back), and cheap too!

If you got a dremel and 10 minutes of time, go for it.

The worst that can happen is you advance it too far, it runs funny, and you slowly rotate it back a degree at a time till it feels perfect.

Or pre-detonation. If you hear a marble-being-thrown-at-steel like sound, retard the timing a bit...

Either way, the information above is valid. I went on a hunt for a V&H advancer, and the search was futile. However doing the mod on the site was incredibly easy.
