Scooterotica

I've been waiting on CamLam to get new delivery of Varitronic Ultimate -- was already wondering whether I could justify £345 for this, but just looking on their web-site they now have 3 in and they're up to £395!

What are the other alternatives?

did you want to run ac lighting or dc lighting? do you have spots ,want a cigarette lighter for phone charger/satnav. that decides your stator
the chisel speed unit seems to be good as it has numerous settings on it for you advance/retard

i run varitronic on 1 scoot,and lightened indian flywheel,with bgm stator,and augusto unit. Never had a problem with either,but prefer heavier flywheel for rally use,as varitronic flywheeled scoot loses power on hills easier.

It's Physics Jim but not how we know it.

I'm fitting an Imola so with battery tray coming off I was going AC, however I've just ordered a Diablo fuel tank with space for a battery so can go DC - if I understand correctly.

you can go dcwithout a battery if you want

If I needed a new system I think it would be Rich T's new ignition-funds permitting

here we go again..
I run the extra wire plus wassel regulator, full DC with NO battery and have the Agusto 8000 on my Imola
Runs great better spread of power, starts with a tickle on the kickstart
The multi adjustable one may have given more tinkering options but mine set up with no problems after I went down a bit on the pilot on the carb
All for 100 quid

More dumbass questions from me then..

I will most likely add a battery in any case -- what's the advantages/disadvantages of the full DC Wassell etc. system versus installing say a BGM 120W stator and an AC/DC BGM voltage regulator. This system can supposedly run satnavs etc without battery, but has a DC out for charging a battery if installed.

Lot to learn.....

you have excellent dc lights with no dimming when you brake and a decent horn that sounds like a horn, i have twin tone air horns that are 120 db on mine
