I have just put a Boyer system on my 400 4 , decided to buy myself an early xmas present and bought the micro power system [ Kit 00289 it works with CB 400- 750]  that comes with new coils  , thinking that  it would help remove the original coils susceptibility to getting wet and  rather than mess about,   I would change the whole ignition system . What I did not realise was that the new coils are smaller and the mounting holes don't  line up with the originals ... no adaptor plates in the kit .... so had to spend the afternoon making up mounting plates and spacers. Having done it I am  pleased with the results .
 I can send you photos / dimensions of the mounting plates if it helps   .... dont know if they would be the same for a 750  ....

Hi Bob,
I'll start by coming clean and saying that I am playing Devil's Advocate with this post.
There are many posts and threads on this forum detailing people's experience with different electronic ignition systems.
There are also many members of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" brigade, of which I am also a member, who happily run with the standard points and coils setup.
You started this thread by saying ".... I'm rightly or wrongly going to replace the points ignition ....", so my question to you is to ask why you think you need to replace the standard setup in the first place.

Very good question Chris. I was tempted earlier this year to change to the Dyna S system on my 400/4 but, having given it more thought I also went along the lines of 'If it isn't broken, don't mend it' so left the original in situ.

Agree 100% and I am an electronics engineer so I shouldn't. Just don't fit crabby pattern points.

I'm in the process of having a 836cc kit fitted to my F1. I'm going for the Boyer system.
