I just ordered a Newtronic out of Australia this morning. From these people.

$215.00 US dollars, but $23.00 dollars shipping. Hope all goes well with this. They said it was in stock and they seem legit.

Newtronics is really plug and play, only thing to pay attention is the correct rotor/sensors gap, Newtronic puts some thin nylon spacers for the purpose.
You may find a little tricky to change the stock points cam with the rotor because of the fragile nylon gear behind the clutch cover, at the end I removed this latter, the gear axle nut was too tighten, a litlle more struggling and the nylon gear would be damaged.

Shayn at Motorcycle Ignition has a good rep - you shouldn't have any problems.

I think Rob is installing this on a 750, not a 380 with the nylon gear.

I bought Pinky(74-750) off of Lane 3 years ago with a Newtronics already installed. Over 10,000 miles later have not had to make any adjustments, and the bike runs fine.
