I decided to upgrade to a Pamco electronic ignition in lieu of the old points-type setup. One of the best decisions yet. Install was a snap and it left me with a single coil vs two and very little wiring to speak of. I also put in a PMA (Permanent Magnetic Alternator) since what I've read regaring charging on these old bikes is a horror. Again, very little wiring to support it.
But, the kicker is... Everything on the bike (Ignition switch, starter button and lighting) is controlled by a 4-Channel remote control unit. So, there's no key. And, the only button on the bike (on the handle bars) will be for the horn...
I had a friend send me a piece of mirrored stainless to support holding a simple enclosure that will contain nearly all of the wiring on the bike.
With that in-place, the enclosure holds a Ballistic Lithium battery capable of starting the bike at full charge. All of the other components (starter relay, fuse block and remote control unit) fit just perfectly inside. How clean is that?
So, other than a few wires running from the box (Pamco, Alternator and to the steering to support the horn, head light and brake light), nearly everything gets contained in a clean little box.
