Result :thumbsup: trikes coming Saturday morning, a mate of the sellers delivering it cheaper than Shipley. Will you all be watching Henry cole on channel 24 ITV4 at 9.00pm tonight? the history of the triumph motorcycle, should be interesting if he dont waffle on to much.

Opinions please. Points or electronic ignition on vw 1300 engine, points being mechanical & easy to maintain whereas electronics go wrong it's a full replacement :hide:

To give you a idea, in over 28 year's of forklift repairs I've only replaced 1 electronic dissy component pickup.

Cheers lads,so i should get away with just fitting a electronic module into the existing dizzy, change the coil & time it up? or get a complete electronic dizzy kit.
