- Gammatronix electronic ignition
Notes from Hayden: Tiny little thing is zip tied under downtube but above crossbar. I put in an earth locating point nearby. It can be wired so if it fails you can revert to standard in a few minutes. I have disconected the capacitor, insulated the terminal and left it on the bike - See notes on instructions.
I have used this unit before on classic motors and it is simple, dirt cheap and reliable. My Norton Commando has not managed to shake one apart in 10 years. Full instuctions and specification available on the website for download.
