For projecting and manufacturing a new ignition/lighting unit, that will replace a DC dynamo, we need to know the following:
(You will find additional information via the links in the text below)

What kind of motorcycle?
  • make
  • year of manufacture
  • engine number
  • 2- or 4-stroke, number of cylinders
It's important to know, what you need:
  • ignition and light in a standard DC system (because of installed flashers and/or battery)
  • ignition and light, where an AC system would be more adequate because of the smaller regulator
  • ignition only
  • lights only
To better understand what has to be done and to make you a detailed offer we will need a few photos:
Are there any data for the original lighting/ignition system?
  • inscriptions on the rotor
  • diameter and height of the rotor
  • Are there some references in the user's manual?
  • If you press the kickstarter - in what direction rotates the flywheel (clockwise oder counter-clockwise)?
A few points tend to be easily forgotten and than cause trouble. So we need to know
Once we have got all this information (maybe after a few additional questions)
  • we will make you a detailed offer
  • If you accept this offer, we will need your original generator/ignition system to take dimensions (We will not temper with it in any way, you get it back as it was)
