Spare magnetos

Since you have no use for these items, why waste money restoring them? Therehere maybe someone out there, with an earlier model twin, desperate for a magneto I, personally, converted mine to electronic ignition because I didn't want to wait months whilst it was restored.

The two Nortons in the family both have coil ignition one with a Boyer and one with electronic trigger in a Dissy. Looking in my spares box i see two K2F mags ,one manual and one auto ,both needing restoration . What would YOU do?,fix them up just in case ,or flog them as is.?.Don't intend to buy any more twins.

Independent Ignition & The Green spark plug company are both vendors of mine, as I rebuild magnetos here in the States. Neither of them rebuild magnetos.

I personally. prefer a well built mag to the electronic ones, but they both have merit. As to the old mags, sell them at an auto jumble, or eBay. Sell "as is" "for restoration". That way you will be helping someone else bike get back on the road, and put a few Pounds in the discretionary motorcycle fund

Independant ignitions in Devon have closed.
