On the money Larry, thanks.
Still hoping though someone from our incredible community will have some experience with said system, and willing to offer his/her opinion ...
In any case, it is a glorious Saturday morning over here and time to hit me favourite roads on my recently re-tyred (some English!) Z.

If I remember right, Jim Zemanek also had an alternative ignition system. He had it at Vintage Days one year and several people got one. I don't know exactly what it was, but it may be worth investigating. Anything Jimmy Z does around CBXes is well thought through.

Mike, are you referring to this?

If so, it is the very Probe Engineering system I am inquiring about
Any soul with practical experience of it???
Thanks! Aris

Aris:
The cbxworld links don't work for everybody. You have to be a member there in order to see anything. But I assume that this is it, as Dave Krager bought one of the units, I think. You may want to ask him about it.

I was able to view the article, but I was not able to get back to our site without closing out the CBWorld and re-opening here. What a pain.
FYI, Jimmy Z is no longer at the location posted in the article, and that phone number is no good either. He now has a small rental unit for a shop, and only is there evenings and Saturdays. He still turns out nice bikes, just not as quickly.

Rick,
Next time right click on the link. You hopefully get a pop up menu. You can choose "open new tab" or "open new window". Either will allow you to have two pages open.
