Boyer ignition in a 1978 to 1980?

[georgesgiralt]

Hello !
The R65 I own is used for commuting to work (around 8km, give or take, mostly in town ) and did so for the last 25 + years.
Still has the original charging system which is fine. The flooded batteries ran for around 3 years (more if pricey, less if cheap chinese) and the AGM is good for a year or two more.
So your charging system is fine for your bike...

Using the EME Enduralast alternator and crank trigger ignition almost my airheads. Not a cheap date, but almost twice the charging and the ignition is bang on all the time.

Wow!  I ordered the Enduralast on Monday morning and it arrived today!  [smiley=clap.gif]  And that's going across an international border.  

Compare that to my Airtech 1/4 fairing order made about 2 months ago (still hasn't even been sent).  

But do I need the "adjustable voltage regulator"?  It's on the parts list that came in the box, but it certainly wasn't in the box.   :question

Re Barry's question, it's pretty much impossible to revert to points once a Boyer is installed. I did it, but I had to buy a used bean can with points still in place.

I managed it OK.  But I had to bend back the posts that the advance springs are attached to.  That was after bending them to admit the Boyer initially.  So my system already has a bit of metal fatigue.

Ol' Bengt Phorqs and I know about the Airtech production "speed" and delivery. They keep in stock their most popular selling products but your fairing will be laid up in the mold... eventually.

Encourage you to call them frequently and be firm as to delivery quotes. Keep calling. Often. They have your money.

IIRC, it took about four weeks+ before I had the fairing to do the prep, prime, paint and install.
