[QUOTE="davidd, post: 32826, member: 1177"] If you have the original magneto, assuming it is a C Shadow, you should send it out for a rebuild. You can then run it or put it on the shelf as a spare. If you have no ignition then you have lots of choices. If I did not know what chassis the motor would be in, I would probably buy a new BT-H. I have had good luck with mine. I would reccomend it because it will fit under the original mag cowl. It is available in single or dual plug versions. It is called a magneto, but it is really a coil ignition system that generates its own power. There are lots of battery coil electronic ignitions available. Mounting the box and the coils should be a consideration. There is the Series D distributor. You will have to find a used one or convert and old Triumph distributor. You will need space to mount the coil. This is a good system and it is well known. Once you decide which direction you think you should go I am sure you will get lots of opinions. David [/QUOTE]
