Get the part number Wally, it could be right for your brother's bike if his is an '83, or of course if you can pinch the signal generator and rotor from his, then they could be a match up for yours until his is ready.

Dropped the bike of for electrical work and the guy gave me a really weird look when I rocked up with the mangled loom. 
He said apparently I didn't need the igniter box, as I was running points and there were condensers (the small round thingies attached to the coils) on the coils. But the good news is, the parts bike I bought had magnetic pick-ups, so we are going to convert from points to magnetic pick-up and then we will need the igniter box.
Does this sound correct? I wondered why my loom had no igniter connector on, but the parts bike had. Would explain why my igniter was missing. :-k
I must still post some shots of the parts bike...

This is where the damaged bearing is:

And the other odds and ends are stacked in a box.

Your motor has points??!! See that's why we needed to see pic's from under the timing cover
But yeah, he's right that the signal generator and rotor from the parts bike should sort that out nicely for you.
You will need to use the coils as well as I believe the condensors will cause you some grief without points.

Score on the parts bike, well and on the crank too for that matter. Ha Ha.
Can't wait to see it finished up Wally!

Well, I learn something new each day...
Do you have a shot of your rotor, please Pete?
I need to go through the box of parts to try and locate it.
Thanx Cory. It will stand there for a while until I have time (and money) to tackle it.

Here 'tis Wally, but the only photos I have are comparing with the Dynatek stuff.
The stock rotor on the advance mechanism (that's the Dynatek rotor beside it on the right):
Stock rotor on the left again:
And the only half decent photo of the signal generator. It's still installed with the rotor and I'm holding the Dynatek:

Thanx so much Pete!
As always, you are a great help!
I found the whole mechanism.
Signal generator is with the electrical dude.
Just wanted to check that I am not missing anything else?
Thanx again!

Excellent. The bolt and 19mm nut should be on the existing points setup so you should be good to go.
Just one tip though is that one looks a little crusty, so dismantle it and clean it up with some kerosene or something. Use some engine oil to lube it up when reassembling it. It should rotate smoothly and spring back quickly.
When dismantling, be careful of the two circlips flicking off and there's also a very thin washer under the rotor that's easy to lose.

It is done!
Electrical dude phoned me up to say I can collect her - eventually!
CDI box working, all charging, some issues with handlebar switches he had to trace and sort, but it is done!
Picking her up on the way to work or home tomorrow.
Woohoo!!!!!!! :dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

Picked it up this morning, gave it a quick start and it all works well and sounds good (for not being tuned yet), but I am a bit disappointed that the guy didn't tuck the wires away neatly as I asked - he thought the side covers were going back on.
So a bit of work for me to do to tidy it up, but at least everything works and she starts!
A bit smokey, but she sat for over 2 years with old oil in.

Going to be a week or so before I get to it. 
We are moving house soon and I will be losing my beloved double garage space, so I am trying to finish as many unfinished projects as I can over the next month or so.
Project 1 is painting the 50s fridge which has been standing disassembled for over 2 years...while the weather is still OK!
Priming the body this weekend, then paint next weekend.
I have to get oil for the pods, give the tank a quick clean, hook up fuel and vacuum lines and then we should be good to fire up. Maybe I can sneak in some time over the weekend...

Got clutch cover and cable back in last night. Also got some sleeving from a member on a local muscle car forum I belong to.
Getting some oil for the pods tomorrow so hopefully I will get it to fire up over the weekend. Gave tank a quick clean again and cleaning petcock.
I did notice both the caliper and master cylinder have sprung leaks...
Will have to check that out next weekend.
Going to try and neaten wiring in the week.
