The race bike that Rick from Smedspeed runs for flat track use, has a programable Ignitech, rather than the oem mechanical advance. he has positioned the pickup in the LH cover, but this bike has no charging system which makes for much more space. The latest Ignitech box has two curves option ( switchable)
I used this to set a mild and wild curve on an R80ST i built recently. both make the engines run better, very retarded for easy starting followed by high number tick over advance for good response and a shallow curve to full advance, if you use a CV carb, you can also use a TPS to build a 3D ignition map OR a HD voes switch which will give you two vacuum dependant curves. control is everything !!
I am in the middle of a design process fitting an Ignitech to my XS1, the biggest headache is the pickup, but this can be accommodated by adding a 6mm aluminium round spacer to the inspection cover. thus allowing lots of room. the Ignitech will allow for rephased 277 as well as 360 degree
Rick ( Smedspeed UK) and I still do a lot of design work, he has a nice new starter motor upgrade, that will turn over 880 engines
