i've been told it can by a friend but he wasnt completlely sure . he said something about having to cut one bracket? any specifics would be great help thx.

 

I've seen it before. If your facing the front windshield, dude cut the top rear leg. Personally I would have your current distributor rebuilt. You can rebuild it here
http://www.moto-parts.com/dist.htm for $150 including shipping. Downtime is around 5 days with a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty.

hth,

 

yes it will work if you cut off one of the legs on the bottom twords the back.

 

It's kind of ghetto to hack one up and it makes your range of timing adjustment limited. I would only do it if you can't get yours rebuilt or can't find a a replacement.
