Great nortnlvr, I would love to see it. It might be better if you could post in the thread for all to see. Also, I would love to see some Pics of mag instillations. Any one have some?

So you're going to replace the battery in the drawing with a capacitor or have you decided to keep the battery?
 
No, I'm trying to replace my ignorance about motorcycle electronics with knowledge. So far, I haven't found a GOOD book on the subject. Know any?

I have one somewhere around here.... Give me a bit of time and I'll find it for you after dinner.

What are the A-hr requirements with this setup? i.e. how low of an A-hr rating is sufficient?

I will just remove the battery, however, I plan to hook up quick disconnects so I can attach, detach the battery. I'll carry the battery in my pocket.
 
If you're doing a cafe and you don't want to see it, you could hide one of those tiny batteries almost anywhere,(in seat hump, cafe fairing, behind tranny, between engine and tranny, saddlebag, toolroll, etc.) and save yourself the trouble of removing it. Just an idea.
 
I Highly Reccomend even a tiny battery to kick start a Boyer and likely others too.
Its really hard to kick fast enough to get over 10.5 v to fire Boyer brain at right time or at all. A capacitor helps to storage some voltage between the alternator spikes.
With a dead battery in circuit may be impossible to kick or roll start till disconnected.

I've had a side cover come off and battery fail out in a learning curve ride.
Made mistake of pulling over to investigate and couldn't start. A farmer I knew
stopped and gave me a run up to 25ish when alternator was sufficient.
Got home keeping it rev'd up to stay lit. That was prior to Ms Peel 1.2 ah
battery and drilled out everything.

If just for starting voltage shoot could just click together two 9 v's and hide anywhere, even in headlamp. Replace every few gas fill ups.
Wish they made something to fit in handle bars.

I suppose the Boyer would have the same problem that it has with the electric start Mk III's - when the voltage drops below a certain point, the spark advance gets unreliable. That makes me wonder if running one of the newer Boyer amplifier modules wouldn't at least help with that problem - a Mk IV or one of the digital ones. They all will work off the old rotor/stator. This is an upgrade to electric start Mk III's. Some of the cycle supply places will sell the amp box separately.
 
Thought I would stir this post up again, I completed the wiring on my project, just ordered a single coil. Hope to start it this summer.
 
Does anyone have the proper procedure to set the points/timing on a commando with a sparx battery eliminator, and accel single coil? I am wiring a small 12 volt battery into the circuit just in case. I'll probably hide it under the seat. Any tips would be helpful.
