Anyone know if the igniter for a 2000 Legend is interchangable with other brands: i.e. kawasaki, etc. New ignitor from Triumph runs $600. Sometimes they can be found on ebay, as well as, similar appearing ignitor from other brands of bike.
Thanks! Eric
they are unique to the brand by way of the programming - while some other bikes use the same unit (american iron horse for one) the burned in parameters are bike specific and cannot be changed.

For a 2000 legend your only real option is to find one from another legend or Tbird from the same year range (the legend used at least 2 different styles). Do not try to fit one from a bonneville, even though they use the same physical unit as the late legend, again the programming is different (2 cylinder vs 3)
