Battery and ignition

Once the motor is fixed it will need some electric power to get it to start.

The current Motobatt although looking nice and clean is about six or seven years old and totally flat.

So whilst I am assembling parts to add to the box I might as well get a new battery and fit it.

Another Motobatt? Why not. I have one in the Rocket and had one in the 1150GS. Never a complaint when you need to crank over a big engine.

The bike is also fitted with a Lucas RITA ignition from way back in the 80's. It works well and as it doesn't have contact breakers it doesn't need adjusting. Hopefully Phil will be happy to fit it back in to the fixed engine.
