I hate to rain on your parade. I just had my Eisemann's replaced with new Slick mags. It cost me about $1500 for the mags which also included a new wiring harness (new plug wires). You will also need new magneto drive gears, because the Eisemann gears wont fit the slick mag shafts. Brace yourself, because the two new gears cost me almost $1000 more. The whole job cost around $2500. The new wires are a vast improvement over the old ones and it sure is a nice feeling being up there with a whole new ignition system. Sorry for the bad news about the gears but at least you know in advance, I didn't and it came as a SHOCK. Jack N103JF, SN:745
