Greetings All,
I hate to dredge up such a long-running question, but after having read all the threads on the subject, I find myself without clear direction.
- 1976 XS650, doing an engine swap for a later TCI-based engine, but don't wish to retain the TCI because I intend to swap out the stock alternator for a PMA, based on Hugh's Banshee write-up of many years ago. The Banshee parts seem cheap (e-Bay) and readily available, so this seems to be straightforward.
- What is the current preferred option for an ignition system upgrade? Looking for best value/performance for the dollar. Want to avoid the Boyer system. I would not be adverse to using bits and bobs from other bikes to cobble together a reliable and affordable system retaining the points as the triggering system to trigger some form of CDI (am I asking too much here?). I have three engines to do, so would appreciate some clear alternative.
Always appreciate the knowledge and experience of the XS650 community!
Brgds,
