It gets good reviews, guys put them on everything from dirt bikes and ATVs to BMW touring rigs. Looks like a cost effective way to save your butt.
That slap didnt work, a little harder please?
Aside from changing ignition yet and look inside the cylinders with my latest borescope.
ready to go.update;
Replaced advance assembly with a good used one, Cleaned lubed advance rod, light grease and DS2, replaced points with Tyronic unit, easy as pie. Had to make one dual bullet connector, done, kick once, run. Set and checked timing and advance. Atsa way it should work.
Cobbled up a custom rear "grab" bar so the luggage sits level. Off to run up a few miles on it.

It's on the venture. put 200 miles on that yesterday, trust me pad's going on this. I changed seats found a stock seat with much better foam hope that helps too.
Thinking about a windshield....

Looks great Gary. How far is Poopys from your place?
Tassels don't forget the tassels.
Was running great then it gradually quit, no spark. need to find out tonight.
No problem for you.
With time running short, Gary calls in his Ace mechanic..........
So after installing the tytronic I got about 30 minutes of service then it started missing while running slowly through Devils Lake State Park, quickly got worse till I had one last pop then nothing, Roadside tank off, electric open for inspection, nothing obvious. I could get no spark either side. After bumming a ride home and picking the bike up with the Prius and trailer, working in the shop, lots of thrashing, parts swapping, spark coming and going. One side would run on the Tytronic in the shop but not the other, Confirmed tytronic wires were all fine so the senders apparently were not liking something. Had the Tytronic with the stock coils and no condensers.
Finally went back to points, and running good. (for points) Have to think on the best way forward overnight. Still have an all in one Pamco with e advance sitting here.
Yes @Mailman I feel like a shop monkey.
