Since that is a twin, virtually anything will work. I am virtually positive that this one can be made to work very easily.

A little bird told me the Kawi electronic ignition systems from the small twins like the 440 can be hijacked complete and put on a 750 twin. They sell them on ebay all the time.

Dyna makes an ignition module to use with points which increases spark energy and reduces the current and voltage stress on the points so they never burn out.

I have seen them new on ebay for about $50.

Just an fyi.. I have 2 people doing R&D for a 750 twin.. I hope to have a running unit within the month.

Naiveté in grownups is often charming, but when coupled with vanity, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool - than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Did ever think that maybe you've been doing it wrong all these years?
