Sorry I don't mean to hijack the thread but I didn't want to start my own as this one seems to be on the same track.
I bought the bike from a local guy who told me the motor was a kick start only from a 1970 xs650, ans that the frame was from an 84.
He re did the wiring, all that is hooked up to my knowledge are the basics, lights, signals, ignition, horn and i think that's about it.
I'm rebuilding this bike and today I popped off the covers of the electrical box and found an ignition unit inside, now what I'm wondering is this,
If the motor is I fact a kick start only motor, what is the purpose of this black box?
I'm wondering because I would like to replace the stock components with pamco parts, and also wondering if this " ignition unit " would mean I have 1970's wiring or 1984 wiring, and also if I could ass an electronic ignition.
Thanks
