looked at that all ready most damaged bikes need new forks $$, to build a frame and then try and buy all the other parts cost a fortune unless you can find one with a damaged motor at the right price which doesnt seem to be that easy as i have been looking since before christmas

dont think it would cause a problem dont try and run it on 96 v though
the sensor would mostprobably only want 1 or 2mm clearance unless you use an industrial type proximity switch
Have you thrown the dizzy out ? check it

Im Guessing you would require 4
you need to look in the distributer
This was a carby engine with electronic ignition ?
you would need to try and see if the output from the trigger would operate the tacho as it would most probably be connected to the neg on the coil

Gday Plugger,
when making the coupling between the motor and box i have machined teeth into this for a proximity switch to read so you may need 4 teeth for a 4 cylinder etc check the crank trigger or dizzy for the pulses required??
sounds simple enough
