I agree that's a lot of money but I guess if you are building a bike from a box of bits and all that's stopping you from being able to fire the bike up is the lack of the auto advance unit , what would you do ? I think I would grudgingly part with my cash especially if I'd been looking for a while and unable to find one .
This is assuming of course that you want to keep the bike original and not go the electronic ignition route . As you know these units are pretty much unobtainable .
So a very difficult choice .
Cheers Chris

Yes, they are hard to find (but not impossible). I got three for twenty quid on eBay a little while back...
At the current price, I'd definitely go with electronic ignition.

Excellent spot, thank you. That source should be a real help for Lightweight owners.
I don't think anyone should be paying £200 for an AR unit!!
