Pic and new ignition system question

NewRider
Hey everybody, I know it's been a bit, but here's an update...I've been working feverishly on my bike since I bought it in december.  Have done all sorts of stuff to it (new clutch, new chain, front sprocket, fork seals, wheel bearings, brake pads, gas tank mounts, new front tire...) and I'm itching to get it out on the road.  I figured out this weekend that I wasn't getting optimal spark on 2 plugs so it was time to take a look at the ignition system-coils are bad and the points aren't great.  Here's what I'm thinking.  Instead of spending 150-200 on new coils and another 75-100 on new points/plate I found an electric ignition that sounds like a helluva upgrade at cyclexchange.net for only 300.  Here's my questions:  Has anyone bought from them before?  Wanted to make sure it's a reputable company.  Also, are there any special considerations that I may need to do/watch out for when changing over from a points system to an electric system?  Here's the link for the product I'm looking at http://www.cyclexchange.net/HighPer%20Ignition%20Page.htm

Thanks and here's a pic of my bike the day I got it...She's looking much better now and I'll post another when she's all done.  After this it should just be some cleaning and painting!

That seems like a good deal on the ign.  This is a much more mainstream setup.

Don't take my word for it though I'm a DOHC guy.
