Default 73 xlch electric ignition kits?????

Hi there. I am new to the motorcycle realm so i found a 73 xlch 1000 fixer-upper. Would like to know if there is any electric igintion kits out there. would like to get away from the points system. Also would like to find an electric start kit for it. Not a fan of kicking this thing over.

Something like this would work, I'm sure there are cheaper options available.

Default Thanks.

I'll look into them. How about a service manual that will give me specs on cam gears and all the clearance tolerances for the bike? Running into a problem trying to find how to make sure the cam gears are correct and the whim spacings are correct.
