i just bought my first bike and its a 98 gs500e. i love this thing. alot of the tip and ideas ive gotton from gstwin.com. they have been a lot of help. my only problem is trying to find the vance and hines ignition advance. does anyone have any idea where i can find one?

The V&H advancers are no longer made. They show up on ebay at times but not often and usually go for too much.

Bob Broussard modifies your stock rotor for a very minimal fee. This is only for 89-02. He cannot modify 04+ rotors.

You can also remove the pickup, slot the mounting holes, and install it 5 degrees advanced.

I voted for "where"...

Go to GStwins homepage goto modifications then goto DIY ignition advance. Dont waste money on a V&H advancer when you can do the same thing for free

I got my MSD Ignition catalog today.They have a rotor and plate withe triggers.No prices tho.From the looks of the compound machined rotor,it's not gonna be cheap.The plate and triggers are machined,too.Every thing is high grade aluminum and anodized.It's quality parts with a quality price,I'm sure.

Here are the part numbers:

Trigger Pickups=42303

Timing Rotor=42314

Universal Trigger Kit=42306

They also have shift lights but you have to buy their ignition box with rev limiters. Not practical unless you race.

thanks guys. didnt expect a reply so soon. guess it will be the best bet to do it myself of the mods page. once again thanks!!

dont be scared todo it. I used a round chainsaw file in a dewalt drill to enlarge the holes.
