| Yes they are but i guess Ducati spent some time making the ignition work too. Maybe?
The idea is that your halfing you flame distance and more importantly halfing the time it takes so therefore you can burn more gas in the more usefull period when the piston is in the best postion to take advancte of it ie as close after TDC as possable. Without retarding the igntion the bike may well be smoother but any more power???
Im not well up on Dukes in this area but on old Guzzi and BMs it popular. The chember is a worse desgign than the Deadcati one and they have mechanical advance wihch is easily limited in its advance degrees.
If you can get a different igntion box with less adanvce normally in the region of about 6' then that dounds great. I know dtna do a system (dyna 3000 is it?) with programable advance curves, that sounds ideal. Twin output dyna coils are easy to get if expensive. But in the states if I was you while the doller is rock bottom.
Look forward to the pics. i gess the plug comes out just under the pulley. should be ok if its done right.
do you knw the standard advance for a stock single plug 900ss. Be interesting to look at what Ducati have done with the newer bikes and compare, but i think the chamber is a completly different shape (3 valves?) so it may not mean much. still.....
Let us know how you get on.
