I am very exited about this setup and in process of install. I chose this kit w/ confidence and and what I consider enough research w/ my intensions. That being said, if you plan on purchasing same kit I would advise you to ask for the length of the wires coming off of the stator to be exetended another foot. I'm not implying that Hugh went cheap on wire. He was fair on what it comes with ( approx. 18"). If they are already built you wouldn't be able to make this request. If he builds these to order then it might be possible. Of coarse you should be expected to pay for this extra wire. I certainly would. Mainly because I spent a hr. adding to it. I ran the wiring up along side the frame right behind the carbs and it ended at the tube where the tank sits. I clearly am not bitter that the wiring isn't where I would have liked it to have been but it would be unlikely to place any of the pieces
(CDI unit, rectifier) to be sensibly mounted. Under the tank or seat couldn't be done. I will let you know how install went and it's abilty. Of coarse reliabilty will be based on time. I would hope this doesn't detere anyone from going this route.
