If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

Its running a 850cc kit, cam and carbs from Cycle X.  Runs strong for a 'matic.  Going for a "Gasser" look, need to know if the ARD magneto will clear the torque converter.  I hate to buy one and not have it fit (pricey).

                     x 100 !!   I agree Jonny.   ;)   If it fits, run it.  They work great and look cooler than hell !   8)
     I run a A.R.D.  CDM version on my turbo bike........ :)

     

     


    Here's a picture of the first version to help you .......

       

    Here's a second version.......( mounting for a kz1000 )

       

       


    Here's the last version........No points and has a small toggle switch on top to lock out the advance
    so it's easier to start.  After the engine starts you flip the toggle switch and its fully advanced.   8)
      This version is the CDM ( capacitive discharge magneto )

       

    Here's some old info from a R.C. ENGINEERING catalog........

         

     I hope the magneto will fit yer bike !  Good luck.   :)

I'm assuming it is a cycle X frame. I like it.

The tiny tank allows more stops for gas, that lets me rest my ass from that solid aluminun unpadded seat. :o
It has a 1977 CB750A engine, custom frame 2 down 2 out. 4 back......
yea running a lot of Cycle X stuff, Ken is a great guy and always bring NEW stuff for OLD bikes.  Running his 850cc piston kit and high preformance cam, Cycle X charging system with out a battery (for the "aren't ya missing some parts" look), Cycle X carbs...........Mukuni 34s and his down-low speedo.  The front wheel is a CB750K hub/Harley rim and the rear is a CB750F/Harley rim all rolling on Firestone 500x16s.  Oh, and I got the first set of pre prodution Stainless pipes.  Sweet.

Right now I lighting the fire with a Dyna S and coils.............but thought a ARD would really set it off.  I'm just conserned about the size of the torque converter.  Anyone have a auto and a ARD they can test fit?????
