I've been researching possibly building my own SR Stator type setup for my 220. While doing all that I keep ending up on the various stator suppliers out there and I noticed something really funny. For years all you ever saw was stock replacement type lighting coils for the KDX, with their anemic 30-35 watt output, and then you happened. After you did all the work getting a high output lighting coil figured out for the KDX all those same suppliers now offer high output lighting coils. I believe you are directly responsible for that change in the market. I just wanted to say thank you as now those coils are available to those that don't have the time or inclination to try winding one themselves.
Also, I want to say publicly... You da' man, Nick!

Just FYI, the high output lighting coil sold by Ricky Stator has thicker laminations than the stock coil. So, in their case, their coil is more than just a different amount of winding turns.

Re: Hey Slick_Nick...
Hey, thanks man I really appreciate it! I’ve made a few design tweaks over the years, trialing different wire gauges and wraps, I still think I got it pretty close on the first time around!
My latest foray into the world of the ignition coil was a fun, albeit frustrating one some days!
Much thanks for the kind words!

Re: Hey Slick_Nick...
Yes, he is. His stator rewiring tutorial was a true game changer for a lot of KDX owners and most don't even know it! It made it where, finally, KDX'ers could get some real lighting on their bikes for dualsport and/or night riding. He did such a great job that all the stator suppliers, basically, copied his hard work.
BTW, Nick, you're welcome!

Thanks guys you’re really too kind! I’ve got a couple other bike builds that I’d like to post up, but haven’t been able to get around to writing them out yet!
