Jack, aka @Team Junk started a thread on using the $20 Suzuki Gn250 igniter box as a replacement for the unobtanium TCI box for our 80 and up bikes. Jack's the genius behind this. He spent the better part of 2 yrs researching iggy boxes to find one that had a built in advance that will work for our motors. My 80SG was the first bike to run with the GN box. So I can confirm that it does indeed work. I'll put up a link to that thread, but last I checked it's over 20-30 pages long. Here's the link. Rather than bury this points conversion in the back of that thread, I'm starting this one. I'm the one designing the conversion, so it only makes sense for me to have control over my own thread.
Since I don't have a running points bike, I built a test stand. This will make modding it much easier and I don't have to keep my SG out of service while doing the mod. I'm a little gimped up at the moment, so don't expect this to happen overnight.... sometime in late summer, early fall should be doable. When it's done this should be an easy peasy, detailed, step by step how-to for anyone with enough skill to keep an XS running. I'll reserve some comments below this one to keep everything nice and tidy and I'll leave a comment at the end everytime I add something to them. So.... without further ado.... here's Juju, the test stand.
