I got a head to go on the 270* rephase I'm slowly working on.

What ignition will you use? I'm just doing another 277 750 & I'm trying to decide what to use.
I have a trispark on my 277. For the 270 I'm not sure, no real bolt on solutions for that one. I have a pamco I could modify, I could make a new trigger for a trispark, or go 36-1 at cam speed with a speeduino or microsquirt. I could probably modify the pickup location for one of the crank triggered CDI setups too.
I have an innognition on order. Does not seem like that one is flexible enough without mods. Here is the answer from Stephan to my inquiry about 270 degrees. “The Innognition runs at 277°. All you have to do is re-solder the Hall sensor on the sensor board. 277° is possible with the original parts. 270° requires special crank webs.
But even here it would work if the sensor board were modified accordingly.”
Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about modifying the pamco. It's just shifting one pickup a little bit. Might even be better to make one adjustable so both cylinders can be properly dialed in like the stock points.
Question. A Pamco fires 1 coil. When you modify it will it fire 2 coils or 1 coil with wasted spark.
Ok, your pamco was made for a 277 it will work just fine as a 270.
As I pic thru the (to do' s) on my 76, I am revisiting the charging system... it seems to be function as designed .... I don't know if I am totally confident in that.
Monitoring voltage at 2000 rpm , the factory regulator seems to be be a more noticeable off/ on operation.
I see most are going to an automotive regulator and I still my do that .... the conversion looks simple enough... can someone link me to the most popular electronic regulator?

Read both these threads. Follow 'em and your charging system will live a long happy life.

That 1970-1971 head came from me. My eBay listings are pretty recognizable -- same avatar as here on the forum, and eBay member name of handspiral, again like my avatar. Anyone who contacts me and buys off-eBay gets a big discount.
Anyways, thanks for the purchase.
Even without a discount your prices are fair, and the items are shown and described accurately. I've been kicking myself for not pulling the head off the XS1 engine I sold years ago. They are rather hard to find, and while no real benefit is there other than all the rocker covers matching, I want the matching covers even if the uninitiated won't know the difference.
My 270 rephased 750 motor's Probe ignition went tits up not long back. Pipes N Stuff modified a one off 270 setup for me. Works a treat.
I have given a shout out for Pipes N Stuff a few times on the forum. What they don’t know about XS650 probably ain’t worth knowing. Nice to deal with to.
As for what I've done to my XS today, well, I pinned the 'incompetent' badge on my chest and broke my clutch basket while torquing up the hub centre nut. Dumb mistake, just didn't have my head in gear this afternoon. Will split it and while fitting a new ally basket to the starter pinion I will stick 3 new springs and 3 vascomite cushions in.

Easy done, reasonable to think the basket would take the torque, till it didn't, classic 'now you didn't really want to do that' moment.
I finally received the title for my bike after submitting the paperwork at the dmv about 6 months ago.. 
The bike was out of the system and I did the YOM paperwork to keep the original blue plate which always takes forever, and it didn’t help that it got sent back because the dmv clerk made a mistake..

I hope they bring back the blue plates as an optionI finally received the title for my bike after submitting the paperwork at the dmv about 6 months ago..
