What ignition system are you running?

You can enter multiple votes if you have multiple bikes, but you have to click all your choices at one time.

I screwed up, I thought I could just keep voting for each of my bikes, but that would have skewed results anyway...

I figured out how to edit my vote(s).

To be fair, I only added a few for my Bonnevilles; none for my Tridents, Nortons or BSAs. Also, I did not include the 20 or so client bikes I've built.

No option for Lucas RITA which is what I have on my Bonnie and one of my Nortons. Boyer on the other Norton.

Yep, I thought about that too late, and there were only 10 categories, max.

I went ahead and deleted my multiples to reflect the proper percentages based on total number of votes. It was all too wierd the other way.

Good evening / afternoon / morning to all!

How long will the voting be going on for, A) i am interested in the outcome and B) i can't vote as i seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place due to me taking delivery today of a boyer mk3 and a power box, not yet fitted as i have not yet pulled the points out!!!

Do i vote Boyer or Points mmmmmmmmmm

Anyway good poll and can't wait for the results.

Enjoying the site as a new member.

Thanks Simon.

The poll will not close. However, I think the percentages are pretty well settled already.

Not listed...

The electronic ignition that I fitted on my '74 T120V isn't listed!
I fitted a Piranha ignition in 1980. It works optically with both triggers able to be set individually and retains the existing A/R. Works brilliantly (and has done for the last 28 years!).

So, how about adding it to the list!

No can do. Limit 10 choices. Let me try to eliminate one of the ones that has zero votes, and change it to "other" to encompass 2 other folks running stuff that's not listed.
