Re: electronic ignition

Hi all:

A Dyna III came with my R60/5 ----- it falied in the heat

I replaced it with a Boyer ---- it failed on a lovely day... 175 miles from home

I replaced it with an Omega --- and it has been happiness and bliss ever since.

Re: Turn signal pods

My experience with the /6 and later pods is that the later bulb holders do not fit in the /5-type pod bodies. The cutouts of the later bulb holders do not mate with the aluminum casting.
