Who sells the Boyer Bransden digital ignition for airheads? Does Boyer Bransden have a company website? Thx. R100SuperS

I think that there are varying flavors of "correct". For my R60/6 I just installed the Boyer in the "normal" manner and all was well. However, on my 77RS I discovered the the key would not stop the engine with the "normal" installation. Thus, I had to make the alternate "correct" installation.
As I recall the difference between the "normal" and alternate installlation is fairly minor - on the order of changing a single wire. I guess that I'll get to find out all over again which one works when I put the Boyer in my R75/5.
...I have several questions with regards to the actual mounting go the Micro-Power Blue Box and the Micro Power Coil. Has anyone found a good spot on the frame that it is secure. I know when I did the Triumph T-140 and Norton Commando's I found several spots that were perfect for the Micro-Power Box and admit I have never used the Micro Power Coil and with the R75/6 frame I have some concerns to mounting these items with some safety of not having it exposed to the heat or falling off. Wonder if anyone can provide some guidance?
I mounted the box under the tank just in front of the tool tray on the underside of the main frame tube. I used zip-ties and padded it with a section of a neoprene computer mouse pad that I had in my stash. It's secure, close to the coils, and out of the way. If I get a pic later, I'll post it. I didn't use the micro-coil, so not sure what to tell you there...
The location under the main upper frame tube, aft of the coils, near the rear of the fuel tank is where I also placed the computer for my BMW-mounted Boyer units. I think that I used some of the foam padding that accompanied hard drives. My Boyer computer is also secured with a few cable ties. This location keeps the computer cool as there is some air flow, and the computer is out of the way, but yet accessible, if necessary.
Excellent! I think after doing some searching I would like to take pictures doing the step by step and our leader can put it int the technical section if that's OK with everyone?
We can do that!! Note that the Hexheads have their own DIY subforum...it sure would be nice if us Airhead owners could do the same thing...nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
