What engine parts do I need to swap over off the 80 ? I know I need the coils & do I use the Electronic plate that was the points plate on the 78 & swap the stators too. Thanks for the help John |

Ive searched for info but cant find anything. Can someone run me thru whats involved in putting the 80 electronic ignition off my 80 parts bike on my 78 Std XS650. Also is it even worth the bother ? |
