WHICH ELECTRONIC SYSTEM ??

#1 PostAuthor: jimmock » Wed Dec 03, 2014 9:52 pm

Guyz,

Going to get in about one of my XS 650's over the winter!!!!!

I'm going to "go modern" with the spark.

What would you suggest electronic wise??

I have sold a few bits and bobs lately so I actually can see a bit of my grey concrete floor!!!
So time for a project.

I will obviously keep you all updated with a photo here and there!!

I've never had a thread in "projects" yet!!!

I fitted a Boyer to my XS650 last year.... it worked better than points, but was a bit of a phaff :|

I got the whole set which included micro coils..... The conversion included a length of threaded studding which goes thru' the cam shaft... a bit "Heath Robinson" TBH :!:

It was however, the cheapest & easiest to acquire :twisted:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

YES INDEED!!

I will be powder coating everything black that was black.

Stainless is a standard option for me for everything that can be stainless.
The paintwork will not be standard.
I will be putting straight bars on.

I want something "complete" but not standard.

Not a full Café Racer but something towards that style.

I have the wheels complete just now.

Polished hubs, new bearings and seals.
New tyres, tubes and tapes.
And of course stainless spokes !!
