We shall see if it works
Not sure how much of an advantage there is but there's a guy in New Zealand makes an ignition pickup system that fits to the layshaft for the cam drive which runs at half engine speed, so no more wasted spark. Also, being external it is easier to adjust as you don't have to remove the LHS crankcase cover.
