so after a couple of weeks i have received ZERO interest in this project... this surprises me immensely! I guess i will put it on the back burner for now. I am still working on getting a quote for the "low tension coil" that mounts to the stator plate from Ducati that they supply to wildfire, to see if its cheaper to buy than to re-hand-wind. with the price they're offering for the CDI module I expect them to charge about $20 for this coil!
with this low tension coil, the CDI module, and a re-drilled stator plate, you can convert your 185 to CDI WAY cheaper than with the wildfire kit. of course i still have to actually do it and get one running, but it'll happen
