In the stock engine, currently in my 1977 Standard, I have the stock points system.
In the 277 deg rephased/ 750/ Shell#1/ Mikuni 34 Flatslide engine I am building, I went for an Ignitech system, together with a Powerdynamo PMA. There are severeral features in this system that I plan on utilizing;programmable advance curve, rev limiter, shiftlight output etc. I also have some nice "Mule" cam end caps I want to use, and these require a crank triggered ignition.

Pamco. Also used another one once. It seemed like a nice system too. Cant remember the name. You could retard and advance a little bit with buttons on the black box to fine tune too. And had an option of a rev limiter too i belive.

Boyer-Brandsen to replace TCI - bought and installed before your electronic advance option came to market

I'll be getting a PAMCO in the coming weeks after I rebuild the bank a bit after just getting an HHB PMA.

Boyer Bransden for me, predominately from using with British Bikes and they are based in the UK. Simple enough to install and robust too.

Probe Engineering on a 270 78 engine.
Older model so don't have rev-limiter but does have adjustable advance.
Very easy install, bike fires right up every time and it eliminates the need for cam bushings or advance shafts.

Points, TCI, Pamcos, even a Martek!
But if the stock system has issues and I have the time, it gets a pamco with e-advance.

I run points because I grew up with points and understand them. If there is a points related problem on the road I can probably deal with it. I read so many posts about fried circuit boards, etc. with the various electronic systems that I'm leery of them. I know that's unfair to you Pete and the others since usually only the people having problems are motivated enough to post their comments. I'm fairly sure my XS's would run stronger with modern ignitions but.............
And yes, I do realize that two of my current four bikes have electronic ignitions.
