    Pamco Electronic ignition vs. high output?

    Hi, I just rebuilt the engine and carbs and I want to replace the points and coils on my 79 xs650 special and I wanted to know if it would be worth it for me to get the high output kit or the basic one, on mikes. Is it worth the $30 extra? Thanks.

    Key Lock/Ignition Switch Replacement

    So I'm in the market for a new ignition switch. I'm running a cheapo switch that broke after about 2 months, now it's basically an on/off switch lol. I don't plan on running a console, so I was looking for creative mounting ideas and good choices for an switch replacement.

    Boyer Bransden Ignition

    I'm installing a Boyer Bransden ignition. I heard that the three or four screws that hold the brushes on the stator have to be switched out for nylon screws. They're not to be grounded. Is this right?
