I have just refound in my workshop (OK, kitchen drawer!!!) a kit I bought some time back from eBay. It is an Electronize Design Total Energy Discharge ignition system. I built one seventeen years ago for a Lotus Esprit S3 and it transformed the starting. It basically uses the points as a low current switcher so they just last forever.
Now seeing one on eBay a while back I thought I'd just get it as they are no longer available. It just sat around gathering dust!!!
Now I wondered recently if it'd do for the Bullet. Built it the other night and finished it off the following day once I bought 5 x diodes that were missing! Grrrrrrrr.
The main problem is it's a bit bulky for a bike being 4 3/4" long, 2 1/2" wide and 1.5" tall. Fine for its designed use on a car though.
The reason I fancied it was :- a) It has a switch to go from the boosted electronic ignition back to the std points set up and b) it has a built in timing LED light! Like the idea that if it fails you're not stranded. Mind you the other unit I built is still working all these years on so...........
I have the Army Bullet so it might get 'lost' in an ammo box or a pannier etc. Need to try it out but it might be a good addition?

As seen below (Double A battery is for size reference only).
Found that it will fit easily under the solo saddle and being black hardly shows so will try for it there!!!!
