Well I have finally got round to fitting my home-engineered ignition advancer and just as various other members have said this is recommended mod. My excuses for being so silent on this in the last month or two have been entirely down to weather and finding the time to do it. Very poor. Along the way I installed some NRC covers which help to crash proof the bike if the unthinkable happens. Above image: Ignition advancer backplate ready to go. Note my crude home engineering skills. Image above: advancer installed (loctite the rotor). Image above: NRC ignition cover. Much stronger. AS you can see if you look closely, the slots are now there on the backplate and these were carefully dremeled out. I am running approximately 3 degrees of advance and will see how it goes. The result is a much cleaner pick-up of power throughout the mid-range with no discernible difference to top-end. However, living in London this equates to no more than 70 because of traffic before I'm on the brakes again all too soon. I also took the opportunity to install some Dyna coils to improve the ignition circuit and encountered the usual difficulty with mounting these. The issue which I encountered was the leads fouling the tank. I don't know if the other versions of slabby had this (G, H) but my JDM '85 F did. There are some plans on the board but for various reasons these did not fit as the coils continued to prevent me from mounting the tank properly. My solution was to mount the coils using a very simple setup (I'll post some drawings soon), effectively these are just flat aluminum plate with appropriate drillings for mounting holes and easy to make. You will need to space your coils away from the frame as appropriate, I had a stash of nylon heavy-duty tube that I cut down with the correct diameter for the mounting bolts for this purpose. My very bad late night phone photo illustrates. I found that reversing the top bank of coils,thereby routing the ignition leads towards the radiator and then looping around meant that they would not foul the petrol tank. The horn still mounts in the same position. You will need to extend the wiring from the loom that powers the coils appropriately but this is simple
