the "wetdream" mod was a REG/REC from a H###A superdream as they where a better unit.

My limited knowledge of these early style igniters is that the ignition curve is different and fixed.

I too think an "CDI" from another model or even brand but same era will work. 

Electrexworld might also have something suitable. Universal CDI with 10 curves

 I have  a igniter from 80 kaw it's a 8 pin gs is a the extra 2 wires go to pickup coils. That makes 4 ,2 for each pick up. The Suzuki only has 1 for each pickup and a wire hooking them together on the other side of the pickup. To hook up the kaw igniter the 4 wires to the pick up is that I think

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit , but you asked about thh Wetdream mod for charging . This is it . 

 

Ok turns out it was 94 not 92 ....I seem to recall the mag kept talking about, and threatening to do, this article for a while, and in the end I thought I'll work it out and write it myself. As big Suzis were all the thing with my mates around then , I earned quite a few beers on the back of sorting out their dodgy charging . To be straight I didn't invent the mod , just worked out what other people were doing . It wasn't particularly difficult, other than back then bike electrics were a bit of a black art to most of us . 

Ah those pre internet days , hand drawn wiring diagrams , hand written text, and sent by post ......and in the ads, 1974 GT750LKettle ....£1450 ......1984 GS650T ...£450 . Who knew ?

Well I think that's cool as can be.i just seen a little fire . Threw the kaw igniter on a extra pickup.

Just wired in enough to make it work spun it over and there it was fire . No idea if it will run it but I'm going to find out.

Well just an update my little beast is finally hitting on 4. The kaw igniter seems to be doing the job without any issues. The wiring took a little  time to figure out  but well worth the effort. thanks to everyone that offered help  don't think it would be running without y'all
