are you restoring this or just riding it? If it is just to ride I would look for an electronic ignition and a pattern coil. I loathe points. If it is a resto then spend the $150NZD odd to get an HGP.

I absolutely recommend DSS: they are great to deal with and very prompt with the sending of the bits.

Cheers guys ended up with one off ebay.Restoring or riding good question,when i bought the thing i figured strip it down to the frame and go the whole hog but to do it properly tis going to be a long drawn out affair not to mention the $...new plan is get it tidy and enjoy using it,methinks the neighbours will enjoy its subtle exhaust note at 5am compared to the booming TLSso yea tidy it up and ride it.Theres still plenty to do to get it tidyish ie paint tank/guards/exhaust,decal kit,cables sort the forks and find some rear shocks which will be a misson methinks,heaps of other things but will get there.Enjoying having it in the shed to be honest.No doubt DSS will see plenty of my hard earned and at this stage i really need to keep away from there website theres just so much on there i would like.

Finally got some time to muck about with the old girl this afternoon (na not the mrs),fitted new coil but still no sparkmate called round whos good with lecky and did his thing with a meter but all seemed a mystery still then after once again removing plug and turning it over we got a great spark so tank on and started kicking away but nothing,cables are all pretty much fucked and i got to playing around with the choke then wound out the idle which produced a 1st kick start followed by quickly flicking the kill switch as the thing wound its way up to blow up rpms,seems some bugger had been fucking about with the idle screw wasnt me i swearAnyway we have a runner,no smoke and bloody quiet so all good.Few bits turning up off ebay so will look at stripping some bits off the thing and doing something re tidying up the frame when i get some time.
