My CDI got fried and I need one asap for an event coming up in September.
I would buy one online, but they're $300-$400 and I simply can't swing that right now. Anyone have one they're willing to let go?

I can pay a reasonable price, or even do a trade. I'm a professional knife maker and I could make a custom knife for you in exchange for it. My knives typically go for $250-$600 dollars, so it could end up a pretty good deal for you. Attached is a pic of some of my work:

No, just the CDI. I'd really appreciate that, I'm in your debt! By this point I've replaced or heavily modified everything on the bike except the piston and starter, and this CDI frying really hurt to see.
I had never worked on anything mechanical before this bike, but now I'm helping other people with their bikes, just because I know everything that can go wrong on mine, lol.

If you manage to find one, I can't tell you how much it'll mean to me. My business burned to the ground earlier this year, and it's been a struggle to find money for projects that make me happy like my bike

I found 2 of them but don’t know yet if they are viable.  I need to test them but cannot do that now.  We are in the middle of a home purchase so hopefully I’ll be able to do that sometime this weekend.  Will notify you of the result.

Dang. Well, thank you for trying, I appreciate it
