What in the opinion of the forum would be the best option for electronic ignition for my Norton ? Would it be Boyer or Tri Spark ??
 
I have Pazon on two of my Norton's and a TriSpark on the other. Both work great. Can't tell a difference between them.
 
Tri-Spark then Pazon .....I wouldn't consider any Boyer product.
Best value for the buck is probably Pazon.
 
Had a Boyer on for the last 12 years, set up once and never touched it since, if I replaced it then it would be with another Boyer but the latest version.
 
My Boyer is over 30 years old still working fine an even with an Alton Ekit starts with no low voltage kick backs. The new type Boyer can deal with lower voltage so if mine ever does fail i will buy another without a second thought.

That's my opinion an now am sure there will be many many many many many more....
 
Boyer here, Ive had to repair and replace the pickup coils . otherwise its fine.

My next ignition is going to be the old britts new ignition...cant beat the latest tech and features of that system. comes with 2 ignition curves and everything fits under the ignition cover. also timing can be set perfectly with motor off, no need to rev to 4000. will run on as litttle as 6 volts.
 
Just received my trispark system in the mail. When i was researching what to get trispark seemed to trump all else

Trispark here. Idle stabilisation works a treat on my two. No kick back, ever, even low voltage.
 
I have to agree re the Boyer. Mine has been fine for 10-15 yrs without touching a thing. That is, after fixing the loose soldered wires and the loose crimp terminals. I got rather excited about the Old Britts one mentioned and found the blurb on it. My enthusiasm was dashed when I saw it was light beam triggered. I had one experience with a Mallory Unilite that was intermittent out of the box. Since then I have avoided the light beams. Funny how one bad experience can put you off a product or service. Does anyone know off the top of their head what trigger is used on each of these newcomers to the Norton ignition selection? I see references all the time on here about owners loving their new system. Maybe we should put up one of those comparison charts like they have on Home Depot and other shopping sites where you can get a real quick idea of how a bunch of products compare. I'm not doing it though.

My vote is for Sachse. Although Volker died some time ago his ignition kits and other electronic producst are still available as the Patzer family took over his business.

The ZDG3.12 offers nine curves. I'm not sure whether the Patzers still do this service but Volker offered to programme different curves if needed.

Do you need to replace the ignition coils when using Pazon sure fire ?

TriSpark. If it ever fails (been great for 6 years) I'll go back to points/AAU.

No, as they should already be 6v.

You got a lot of responses, but you didn't mention which Norton you have. Will assume a Commando as this is that forum. 850 Commando would expect any will work well. In the case of my combat, a slower advance curve than Boyer is good. My Lucas RITA has this, but no longer available new. If the newer Tri Spark/Pazon have adjustable advance capability that's a plus.
