Re: Electronic Ignition for Old Bikes [Forwarded]______________________________ From: ...decwrl!rhea!eludom!clark Date: 3-MAY-1984 16:50 Several years ago I installed a Prestolite (???) electronic ignition kit on my '75 Honda GL1000 (Gold Wing). Installation was straightforward but time-consuming. Timing was done by rotating the assembly and by moving the magnetic pickup. Unfortunately, once proper timing was achieved, tightening down the two mounting screws would move the assembly and throw off the timing. After MANY attempts, I got it right, put the cover on, and haven't touched it since. Except for the installation hassle, I've been very happy with the Prestolite ignition. It turned my cold-blooded GL1000 into a bike that starts easily, even in cold weather. Ward Clark
