FITS OVER GLASSES
This goggle is designed to fit over prescription eye glasses and comes equipped with interchangeable dark gray and yellow lenses. The unit, called the Ski Goggle II, is made of Lexan plastic and has a flow-through ventilation system to prevent fogging. The plastic frame incorporates face-conforming inside-rim cushioning, which is said to not interfere with most helmet contours. The only problem was that the glue holding the foam padding in place had a tendency to come off on your face and allowed the foam to move around. These goggles retail for $18, from Ruder & Finn Inc. 110 East 59 Street, Dept. CW-7, New York, NY 10022.
TRIPLE PANEL
Gauges Galore is now marketing a triple panel which contains an ammeter, oil pressure gauge and vacuum gauge, for adjusting your own carburetors.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Weighing only 4 oz., just 2-3/4-in. in diameter and 3/4-in. deep (plus mini rotor), the entire Brandson Mark 2 electronic ignition system fits straight into the place where the contact breaker assembly used to be. The unit also has temperature-sensitive protection against such possible installation faults as shorting to earth, due to the motorcycle's wiring being trapped or frayed against the frame. Even basic snags within an existing electrical system are said not to damage the B-B Mark 2. The compact, integrated solid-state electronics use less wiring, and therefore contain less potential installation faults. The unit is available from Boyer-Bransden Electronics Limited, 38 London Rd., Dept. CW-7, Bromley, Kent, England.
