Question
QUESTION: I want to get Honda Shadow vt1100c Ignition Module 1988 model. New or used.

ANSWER: Hernan,  first thing to do is to obtain the current part number from sites like: www.cmsnl.com

30410-MM8-006

I searched the part number and found this site's questions/answers.

http://www.justanswer.com/motorcycle/25dxi-88-vt1100c-shadow-no-start-no-spark-u

Read down and see that the part was used from 1988-96, but the later ones used a sidestand kill switch, which has an extra wire that can be grounded, according to the messages in the above link.

30400-MG8-005 MODULE, IGN CONT $415.73 1986 VT1100C
30410-MM8-006 MODULE, IGN CONT $321.27 1988 VT1100C

http://www.ronayers.com/ProductDetails/N/687/SKU/446296   seems to show them available here in the US for about $221 plus shipping.

I would start searching for parts bikes from 1988 to 1996 now on Ebay or globally to see who might have a good used one for you.

QUESTION: Just want to make sure it is for Honda Shadow vt1100c 1988 model. Motor no. SC18E-2303888 and Chasis no.1HFSC1819JA300463. Thanks

Answer
I understand. Information given still applies to any of the pre-97 VT1100s. You will either find an early one that will bolt right in and hook up electrically or a later one that will need the extra wire grounded. Other than that, the functions are the same.
