I've been checking ebay also. I've only found one that looks like the right one. But it came off a 1200. U wouldnt happen to know if it'll be the same ignition would u? Let me see what he's looking to spend. I guess his biggest deal is that he's not 100% sure thats the problem.

Hey I'm new here and just have a couple questions [ for now ], I just bought my first Harley, an 02 883c, with 4438 miles. question is,, I was told it had the 1200 kit in it, but how do I know for sure, does not seem like it while riding, or is there not that much of a difference ?

THANKS,
