Honda-SOHC

The old ones you are referring to are like a bakolite. Cut a chanel in them and remove them before powder coating etc. Just cut lengthway with a hacksaw blade and prise out. Then cover the ends for powder coating. I sell the bronze bush replacements.

I need to investigate that Dave as mine was just flopping about when I bought the bike. I took one of those Boyer units apart that a member here kindly gave me. Interesting design and it was patented by Ernie Bransden I think. From memory it uses a wasted spark system so doesn't have two switching transistors for each of the two Honda Four coils. So I guess the current draw must be higher than the standard points setup. Really need to revisit it in case I am talking BS plus design some kind of holder for the potted block. Tell you something though, that system seems to have stood the test of time.The failed unit a member (John Webley IIRC) donated to me had failed after many years and miles of reliable service. Plus it was only a failed capacitor IIRC not the main switching transistor.

Coming to Scotland in Late August as part of a 3 week Vacation. Now ill be sure to Bring my Midge Repellent. This is the first i have heard of these Creatures. Living near Seattle Washington we don't have a lot of bugs.

I'm out on the hills every day with the guide dogs and my flatcoat,,wear decent repellent and midge net,DO NOT CAMP OUT,,lol,,,the flies are worse than australia,

Something strange is going on with some of the Gallery pictures. The first 8 or so pics have suddenly jumped up to 1800+ views but other pics are near normal numbers of views.
Any clues?

That's a result, they seem to have done away with the discount codes now.  I've decided to order my gauge from Urban Rider, not only cheaper but they answer the phone.
