Electronic ignition choices

(1/6) > >>

I'm considering going to electronic ignition on my 400. I'm tempted by the Boyer with the micro coils option- has anyone tried this? Not cheap but looks straightforward install albeit junking old coils.
From other posts on here I gather the Piranha system isn't always successful. 
Does anyone have any recommendations or don't buy that comments on any other systems?

I have had Boyer for ages,

Easy to fit,
Very happy with it

My BiL is a big fan of the Dynatec system - he has fitted them to virtually every bike he has restored so on his advice as both my coils were shot that's what I have fitted to my 400 - it retains the original mechanical advance/retard not cheap at around £350 including both coils - with push in type HT connections so leads can be easily replaced. There are two different size rotors on the 400 I believe - mine was the smaller one iirc.

As my bike has only covered 150 miles I am in no position to advise if it was a good buy - it does start instantly though and is easy to fit.
On my 500 I was thinking of something cheaper as I have new coils  - the Hondaman system sounds very good from what I have read here.
Can't say too much here at the moment but Bryan might have a system in the pipeline for me.

Holy moly Ted ! I thought the Boyer was dear😲!  Thanks for the reply though.

The Boyer is really good and does everything including advance etc.

They are set up using reference point, then finally checked with strobe at max advance to complete accurate ignition.

Many years (been making them more or less as long as these bikes) experience says they are reliable too.
