My '79 XS still has the OE points ignition system. I am having no problems with the way it runs but down the road, I am considering some ~500 mile trips to attend VJMC events and I am concerned about reliability. I am toying with the idea of replacing the points with an electronic system to increase reliability. What is the considered opinion of the XS gurus on the forum? Also, what system would you recommend? I want to keep the bike as close to OE as possible so I want to avoid a lot of rewiring, etc. Also, I have no problem with taking a pair of points and condensers along just in case but I don't like roadside repairs unless absolutely necessary. What is the typical life span of points on an XS?
