Convert Your Harley Davidson Motorcycle To Points!

This video covers EVERYTHING you need to know about converting your Harley Big Twin Evo (or Sportster) to a points ignition.

-How to INSTALL the parts
-How to SET THE TIMING (no timing light needed)
-How to SET THE GAP

It’s ALL here.

For those of you running kickers (or better yet, kick ONLY) a points ignition is a super simple, cost effective ignition option that is guaranteed to work properly with a kicker.

I'll take you through all the components you'll need, how to install them on your bike, setting your points gap, your static timing, and eventually a shot of kicking it over with the ignition we just installed.

If you've been wanting to try out points, this is the video you need to see.

One quick disclaimer...I am not a professional mechanic nor am I an expert on points ignitions. This video shows my own personal method for setting my points. Do this at your own risk.

This install was done on an Evo Big Twin. If you're doing this on a Shovelhead or Sportster, remember, YOUR TIMING MARKS ARE DIFFERENT. Your manual will tell you which timing mark to use. You do not set points off the TDC mark.

UPDATE: If you are having an issue setting your points gap because the points won’t close down enough, I have a workaround for you!
