How's the unit now it's been fitted for a while??

Does the rev counter give an accurate readout even though it's wrapped around on of the two HT leads??

Thanks

Still rocking along. I later altered the tach lead by fitting the tach wire to the low voltage side of the coil. The spark plug wire wrap -although shown in the Vapor install guide- was a short term deal just to get the unit up and running.

I have a NIB Vapor - black rather than silver- sitting on the bench just waiting for some time to install it on the R100S.

My GEN lamp is fitted into the hole in the R65's steering stem top nut. Radio Shack item held in place with a little dab of silicone adhesive.

I only wish I'd been lucky enough to have Monte as my neighbor - this guy is a skillful and gifted mechanic!

You're WAY over my head as usual, Monte!
