I'm worried Pazon is just a Boyer clone with a couple of nice mods. I asked Pazon where their producted bettered Boyer's, they didn't tell me. :?

.... I've been a lurker here for some time but wanted to chime in on this one.
I'm a member of another British bike group. First want to make it clear than I am not connected to the Pazon company in any way. Here's an exerpt from Andy at Pazon; it provides a bit of history and some "theory" behind their product:
Hi fellow BritBikers,
We would just like to comment on the earlier post from John Healy.
Yes, my wife and I were the management and technical team for Boyer-Bransden.
It is true that I worked on the digital ignition systems for & on behalf of Boyer-Bransden, but this was on the software side only. I had to work with the hardware designed by Ernie Bransden and I had no input on that side of things. I was restricted by the designs given to me. This is one of the reasons why we decided to leave the company, because technology is always moving forward but we felt that the corporate bs at Boyer was stifling creativity. So, it would be true to say that we did not 'design & manufacture' the Boyer Micro-Power (or Micro-Digital) ignition. The Boyer Micro-Digital & Micro-Power ignitions are essentially a MK3 design with a microcontroller ('chip') added in. Therefore this is not a fully digital design. Our Smart-Fire ignition system uses cutting-edge technology and is a fully digital system throughout, from trigger, to module through to the ignition coil. Comparing our system to the Boyer Micro-Power is a bit like comparing chalk & cheese or north & south.
We hope this sets the record straight.
Regards,
Andy & Debbie
PAZON IGNITIONS

Actually, I am more interested myself in what wrench had asked earlier in this post, in how an electronic ignition working with older aspects of the bike, for example, an older Lucas alternator and such might relate. We sometimes look at bike parts a little too individually, in my opinion, and not on how they influence - for better or worse - the other systems. At times they may not seem to relate to each other, but....
