I did a search and came up with nada. There are a couple of units marketed for MC apps. but I only have experience with their automotive apps. MSD ignitions have worked very well on my cars and I can't see why they wouldn't on my Uly either. Anyone have any insight?

See most of their stuff on dragbikes as they tend to be bulkier than most.I have a MSD window switch that will go on the nitrous system next year.I have had good luck with Dyna 2000 ignition boxes on 4 different bikes now.The newest one on the Bonneville bike has a set-up to hook to computer and program it, and an ignition retard feature for nitrous/turbo applications.
And though some here may dismiss single fire, my seat of the pants meter tells me bike is smoother esp down low.
Now with your bike and FI/ecm you may not be able to swap out easily.But Al Lighton and Terry Parsley are working on a fix for you folks.

S123, stands for Multiple Spark Discharge. The box fires your plugs several times on each cycle with more energy than about any other ignition. This promotes a more complete burn of the available mixture, even if that mixture is a little to lean or rich. That means a cleaner running engine with less fouling, a smoother idle, hopefully would stop the occasional "coughing" on throttle opening and generally loose some of the more annoying "character" of the bike.

Again sometimes we can't just mix and match as we might want. I use Brian Nallin's Rev Perf Heads whenever I can, I do this because I know how hard he works to get the flame path he wants. And if he gets it, I get the horse power I want. As a tuner I have discussed cylinder timing offset, plug heat range, A/F ratios, intake and exhaust flow with him. It is subjects such as this that need to be discussed with your head builder regardless of what a vendor may claim his part will accomplish. ... Terry

Terry,just another electronic ignition box similar to Dyna,Crane,etc.
But ,again,need to see what will work on the late model bikes with the ecm you have.
