[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 40421, member: 59"] You spoke of getting an electric start. I suspect that for that you will need something better than an original dynamo, however well it is rebuilt. If you are going to M.Grosset for a starter setup he may well advise on what ignition and charging systems work best with it. Personally I would go for non standard but reversable appearance of the Walkernator or similar belt drive alternator to maintain a suitably sized battery. This will let you run all the mod cons that you'd expect to run on a modern tourer. For ignition I'd go for a Lucas Moira coil set up which will let you run without an ignition switch with all bits hidden under the magneto cowl. This will fire the plugs at much lower revs than a magneto and should give even better starting/running than the BTH. It has fully electronic advance so requires no ATD. [/QUOTE]
