Viet has sent me version 3 of Acacia Vintage Motorcycles electronic ignition for the 360. The biggest problem I had with earlier versions was the narrow spacing between the sensor and magnet plate that ended up damaging the sensors. Well, that problem has been taken care of. The new version has plenty of space between the plates, and a stronger magnet. The timing is spot on for both cylinders.
I can't fire the bike up yet because I'm in the middle of painting the tank and seat. Once these items are clear coated I will be giving the EI a full test run.
I'm happy to finally see some color on the bike besides the black frame. With the wiring almost finished, I think I see daylight up ahead.
Dear Mike,
It is great, I am waiting for your seat to complete. Wish all the best.
@ crazypj: it is 2 pickups located 90 degree and single magnet. The control module is dual HEI module ( 4 pins) that allows no limit on rpm. The advance is stock advance mechanism. I added a small piece of steel on the rotor to make it more concentric to the center.
Thanks
Viet
Cool Viet, thanks for info
That should work real well, only 'problem' could be over revving 8)
I had my CB550F1 up to 13,500rpm with electronic ign, stock was 9,300 rpm ;D
It was a little modified though
Not to hijack thread, but, has Brendon been in touch about making a fairing for his 360?
Thanks Jeff. Here's the clear coat on it. As we all know, it's hard to capture the color the eye sees, but the bottom photo comes closest to the actual "green".
Seat and tank aren't perfect, but not bad for a first effort out of a rattle can. ;D
The last of my wiring is figuring out how to get my LED turn signals to play nice. I bought a flash unit from DCC, but I might need resistors, or a dedicated LED flash unit. After that it's on to seat construction.
Heres Sonreirs write up on LEDs, scroll down til you find the LED section adding the diodes.

also heres the flasher I am using. Add the ground wire and it plugs into harness. Well maybe not your harness.

This green came from an auto paint specialty store. It was the closet thing I could find to British Racing Green with a little bit of bling sparkle in it.
Trek - Thanks for the links. Working midnight to 8 am last night. I'll check these out after I wake up later today.
Love this build thread man! Your putting alot of detail into it, somthing I need to get better at in mine I may hijack your electronics setup to an extent for my CJ360t rat bike I will be starting in the next 6 months. Keep up the goods work!
Thanks for the kind words CBCJ. Your project is too cool for school. That color combo is hot. Your bike is going to be a real standout. And the RFID ignition switch is the bomb!
