    I have never used Motoplat Repair, but can recommend http://www.uk-motoplat.com/ . He rewound the SEM on my Husaberg 2 years ago and I've had no problems. He has dozens of recommendations on other forums - which is why I chose to send it there. Steve, the owner, is in Spain but originally from the UK so communication is not a problem. Shipping was actually very reasonable & quick as well.

    There's a guy up your way in MI who can you help -- His name is Vance Smith. I just spoke with him today and I'm buying a rebuilt motoplat and coil from tonight.

    Here's his website: http://motoplatrepair.tripod.com/

    Mogly406- Have a buddy who's sent 2 to that guy, both with fantastic results. Takes a bit of time though.

    Per conversation today w/ Mr. Smith - he doesn't do SEMs.

    That suxs.
    I guess the only other options are Taffmeister's $288 rewind or Powerdynomo GmbH (formerly MZB) new unit at $455.
