While the Pukekohe festival was eminently forget-able with two magneto's failing and only managing two practices  *problem*.
The compensation was prize giving for the season which had completed just prior where my humble A10 won its first championship  *woo*. Yes it won the 2017 sidecar series for pre 63.  This was also my passengers first championship win, so nice to do.

Should be a cheap Joe Hunt Mag for sale shortly, the K2F is thankfully a warranty job and belongs to my '54 road rocket. Looking to go Pazon with total loss from a battery.

Good onya Tim  *yeah*
Yes I went electric ignition in my 2nd season. Ran it total loss and would get at least half a dozen races on a charge with a tiny 4 amp battery 3.5"x4"x2.5". Sill in the cafe and will give me at least 1 hour of road riding.

Well done Time *yeah*

The Joe Hunt looks like a carbuncle and does not realy fit good.
Once up on a time I had fit such a Magneto I had to grind the crankcase and Magnetohousing
down to fit.

For my new RickmannOIF  framed A10  I have ordered a new BTH selfgenerating Mag.
Oh yes its a lot of Money but its worth. Never had any probs with this BTH mags, adjust and forget it.
No charging Batteries or any fails of them.

cheers Klaus

I dont have much to offer other than I have greatly enjoyed this topic, Dustbins are COOL!  *beer*
And flogging your old racer is even cooler. Thank you!

Hard to tell what we gained as I'd also done a 6 speed at the same time and that keeps the old girl on the boil, however we were pulling taller gearing than previously at both Taupo and Pukekohe, but ignition issues meant our attempt at running a gps speedo were inconclusive. The bike does keep accelerating where it used to hit the wall with its two lardy middle aged crew. Problem is much of our competition is now either 1000cc pre 76 or big bore triumph and we lack the cubes to really get the drive.
We've got a play weekend with the public at Taupo this weekend and the rain has forestalled any test run with the Pazon. So I'm hoping we dont just end up a stationary display exhibit  *dunno*
