Default 78 R100/7

I have owned this bike about a year now and been riding it when I could for about 4 months.

A local mechanic took 8 months to go over the bike to be checking it back to original specs. She has burned oil since day one. I have a hard time keeping the right cylinder hitting especially. I know it will have to get an engine overhaul eventially but that is not possible right now.

Some things I want to do are change out the points system to solid state ignition, does any one offer this change out.

Also go to a better lighting systrem and move the fuse block from inside the light nacel to another place on the bike. All suggestions appreciated.
