I was just reading the Daytona news this morning (because I really want to pack up and head south) and saw that Crane Cams has shut down. That is truly sad. I just put a Crane Hi4 ignition in my dog over the winter.

Crane's not shutting down. They were just bought by another company out of New Jersey. Nothing seems to be changing except ownership.

I had a crane ignition in the chop before... when the plastic pos tabs for the cam pick up cup broke and the ignition was junk. It took them 4 fuckin months to replace it. I was smart enough to buy a Dyna 2Ki a few days after the crane broke and its all metal. Fuck Crane junk

Shit - that makes me feel uneasy. I replaced the stock one this fall after I had all of my problems. I put a Crane Hi4 in it.

Thats what I put in. Don't feel so bad, I'm sure my issue was a fluke. Alhall has been running one for a while with no problems. But when you compare the crane vs the dyna. Its a world of difference. Plus, what company lets a warrenty claim go that long? If I didn't buy something else my bike would have been down half the summer.

Broke pick ups on the crane == no more sparky


The back side of the dyna... all metal


Plus Dyna makes all their stuff IN HOUSE in cali. Where as dyna orders it in from god knows where...

Keith don't listen to his belly aching, I've had the crane HI4 in my bike for going on 2 years and no problems at all.

hey Gas - do you have an issue with the RPM's reading double? The stock pick-up was a single and the Crane / Dyna are both doubles. Ever since I put it on, my tach reads double the amount it should. I talked to Al and he has not had this issue. Just wondering if there is a switch somewhere I did not move.
