For future reference we have an Evo section, where you can meet fellow Evo owners, who are well up to speed on these older bikes!
Thank You for your help. I don't know much about his bike and where it actually fit in with the touring world. I do appreciate your time though.

Indeed, there's a sensor inside that does a similar job to points.
