Zed, hope you don't mind if I ask a few dumb questions. Since I have never seen this type of set up before. So from what it looks like, you are installing an electronic ignition in place of where the stator resides, correct? I'm anxious to know, were and what will take place of the stator?

Love your work and ingenuity.

Hi,yes! correct.
It's a self generating race ignition which needs no battery.
Just like a dirt bike you only need to kick it over and away you go.
It has an electronic advance curve built in and a kill switch on the bars to switch off.
I won't be fitting a charging system but will be running a total loss battery in the seat tail to run the brake light and horn which is the minimum requirement for daytime running over here.

Water wouldn't normally effect it,i have seen plenty of race bikes running these in the wet with no cover fitted at all.
But then you really think i will be taking this bike out in the wet ? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

After making the rounded ignition stone guard i've decided that the blanking plate for the original points location looked a bit pants and needed something else


So i removed the turned center which was just a press fit and welded it in to a later points cover which had enough meat on to allow a matching profile to be shaped on it


Think that's a big improvement and it actually matches the stone guard now.
