I am at the point of installing an electronic ignition on my 76C model. I have looked at both the Pamco unit as well as the Boyer. They seem very close in use as well as price. Mike over at 650 central carries the Boyer unit. I like the fact that the Pamco is made in the USA. Is their any...

I am at the point in my build of a 76c model that a ignition upgrade is next on the hit list. I have been looking at both the PAMCO and Boyer aftermarket as a great upgrade for my XS. These two units seem about the same in function. I like the fact that the PAMCO unit is made in the USA. 650...

Hey Gordon, like the design of your brace. Looks like the design of the braces called Teleflex. Can your custom made brace be fitted to my 76c model so i can retain the stock front fender? Let me know. Mitch :bike:
