It's DYNA, just so you understand if you go shopping for one. Both the early model with dip switches and the later one have rev limiters. I think a rev limiter is important on these bikes. The big ends and the rods/thrust bearings can and have had issues, so limiting the ability to over-rev is an important way to preserve the life of the bike.
The Ignitech has more settings which can be incorporated, like running the VBoost, and accommodating different power-adders and things like quick-shifters.
The early '85-'89 ignition seems to have issues while running COP's if the load presented to the ignition box isn't the same as the OEM , due to the impedance of the ignition sticks used. That's what the anecdotal evidence has shown, multiple times, from people on here complaining about the failure of their OEM ignitions while running COP's, without taking the resistance being identical into consideration.

Ignition boxes are different, crankshaft rotors are different, wire looms are different.
The engine is a 1988 USA market bike. [2WE] Yes to the early ignition.
2EN [frame] I see is a France-market bike from either 1986 or 1988, to begin, but I also see 2EN shown for multiple years and countries. Check the chart. I suggest checking your frame VIN to this chart and that may help narrow the origin of the bike (for what market it was intended to be sold).
1989-1993 [France]
and many more.

I don't see 2WE [engine] and 2EN [frame] listed anywhere on this resource for the same year. You apparently have a metisse (mongrel) which apart from ordering parts isn't a problem.
DYNA will have an early model/5-wire ignition box. No it does not replace the OEM VBoost control. It does have a rev-limiter.
I'm pretty-sure Ignitech can be used for the early models, though I believe they also have the different listings for the early ignition vs the 2-wire later ignition. Ask Sean Morley about the Ignitech applications [email protected]
Where does your 2EN VIN # on the steering head fall by intended country for sale, off that chart I posted? Tell us the year and the country.
