Description
OFFRAMP OMQ2 Magneto Ignition for Harley Big Twin FL & EL
Built for classic Harley-Davidson Big Twins, the OFFRAMP OMQ2 Magneto Ignition delivers the mechanical simplicity and unmistakable character of a traditional self-contained magneto to compatible 1941–1969 FL and 1936–1952 EL applications. Mechanically driven by the engine, the magneto generates the energy required for spark without relying on battery power for ignition, making it a natural choice for vintage restorations, period-correct customs, choppers, bobbers, and stripped-down builds.
The OMQ2 combines a traditional magneto head with an adjustable manual advance and retard base, allowing ignition timing to be changed mechanically to suit starting and normal engine operation. Its distributor-style mounting base uses the classic 2-hole flange configuration found on early Big Twin distributor applications and installs at the original distributor location on compatible engines. Precision-machined billet aluminum construction and a highly polished mechanical finish complete an ignition system built around old-school function, straightforward serviceability, and authentic vintage Harley character.
Product Features
- Self-Contained Magneto Ignition – Generates the energy required for ignition independently of battery power, ideal for simplified electrical systems and traditional custom builds.
- Adjustable Manual Advance & Retard – Mechanically adjust ignition timing for starting and normal engine operation while retaining the direct feel of a traditional magneto system.
- Distributor-Style Installation – Designed to install at the original distributor location on compatible classic Harley Big Twin engines.
- Classic 2-Hole Mounting Flange – Uses the traditional two-hole flange configuration associated with early Big Twin distributor applications.
- Precision-Machined Billet Construction – Machined aluminum components provide accurate fit, solid mechanical structure, and a premium purpose-built appearance.
- Polished Mechanical Finish – Highly polished aluminum complements restored engines, period-correct race builds, choppers, bobbers, and traditional customs.
- Simplified Custom Wiring – Because the magneto supplies its own ignition energy, it is well suited to stripped-down builds where minimizing electrical complexity is part of the design.
- Built for Classic Big Twin Applications – Designed for compatible 1941–1969 Harley FL and 1936–1952 EL applications.
