Is there any reason I could not install a second pickup for the coils spaced 90 or 83 degrees (depending on 270 or 277 rephase) before the stock ignition pickup to operate a second coil for the right cylinder with an electronic ignition on an 83 Heritage Special motor? Seems to me that you could layout the location pretty accurately with a protractor to get the timing right. Considering the cam chain induced timing variation on points equipped bikes, that might not need thou-perfect accuracy anyway.
Is there a dwell issue? Could I go even cheaper and still use one coil with a wasted spark?
