I am enjoying this thread.. I also plan on upgrading/rearranging my electrics.

I would like to add the Cycle X Power Arc Ignition.

I started another thread specific to the Power Arc Ignition to get opinions on it ( so I wouldn't hijack this one) ....

behind the battery

I didn't use a fuse box per se because I can access the fuses like this with my sidecover still attached

This week my 4 week old AGM battery crapped out, it was defective.... Batteries Plus is replacing it today, pix later of the rest of the set up.

Have just installed electronic ignition, made in Japan but sourced in Holland for €133.  Simplicity itself to install, less than 30 minutes, the fiddliest bit was a two minute wrestle with the waterproof grommet taking the wiring from the "points" to the loom by the airbox.  The whole thing fits under the points cover - very neat and tidy

No more changing points, condensers, fiddling with the timing etc

Thoroughly recommended
