What ignition

[graeme]

Sachse is 12v too

I have just fitted a Moira ignition (aka Lucas Rita) on recommendation of Nigel Lacey. I had been looking at crank mounted self generating type (for a racing single) but Nigel was able to point out a few pit falls of that option. The Moira was pretty straight forward to fit, only disadvantage for a racing bike is you still need a battery - total discharge, but that wouldn't be a problem for a road bike with alternator + battery. So far I am very happy with Moira (don't tell my wife!), and the Lucas Rita I have had on my 750 Bevel (for years and years) has been faultless.

PS. Does anyone know how to strobe a single?

I got Horst's last name wrong, that should be patzer or HP59 on this forum ...

Ah - thanks Eldert. Now I understand the message that he, i.e. Horst, aka HP59, posted earlier . Apologies, Horst - and good luck with taking over the work started by Volker Sachse!

...but I still would require a generator kit

Gotta ask - did you look at the link to Nigel's shop that I posted earlier? Seems to offer all you want ....

Yes I've just purchased a full Rita/Moira system for a friends race bike that we're putting together for him. At £270 it's good value and having always dealt with Nigel you know your getting good quality spares and a brilliant service.

With my road restoration having no electronics at all with it, purchasing an alternator kit at £234 brings the full system up to just over £500 plus post, Which to be honest I can't justify or afford (mortgage/racing commitments!) when the full electrix-world kit was £360 (when it'll be back in production again, no one seems to know)

So I was looking what other options are out there, The Sachse seems good value together with the electrix world generator.

Hello
yes we are working to takeover the complete Sachse shop and opening it beginning of next year.

We- that means my son(Diploma degree of Electrical Engineering+Master of Computer Engineering) and me(master of machine builder)+ 8 years of race experience with my 350 Ducati race bike + Srambler 500 + Monster900 (all bikes kit with Sachse ignition) hopefully can developp this business forward to have best parts for ignition and bike electric.
I keep you in the loop when the shop is resurge.

Horst, How are you progressing with your ignitions?

I just installed the Electrex system on my N/C 250 street bike. Super easy to install, very nice system, works perfectly. Still using the points, which also work fine.

My 250 came to me without any electrics outside the engine and trashed points inside. Though expensive I got the powerdynamo. 12 volts 100watts and much of the wiring and elimination of the battery sold me.
In any event I would recommend an electronic ignition . Proper advance and good idle. The one that I put on my Morini transformed the bike. Good luck Tom

Hello Horst, how's the Sachse availability going?
