Yes, thats why I wrote the above.
Naturally one of the usual suspects will assume that I am wrong.
I count that as a gotcha.

OTOH, the magnetos were a cause of so much trouble that many have been
replaced with an alternator. Some of these "upgrades" are well done
and reliable, others are more dubious.

Yeah, not sure how many he's got now. He sold that one to a yank who
later got done for drug dealing, so the bike was confiscated. He's
currently got this one on the road:
