I didnt think the stock electronic ignition had adjustable timing.
If you have a dyna, you rotate the breaker plate and half breaker plate just like you do with a points system.

I baught a new GS 1000 G & a used 1000 E in early 1980. They DID NOT have breaker points. Electronic ignition & CV carbs were big back then, and all the 1000's, G's, E's, S"s & L"s had both. If there is a reason for changing the timeing, you can elongate the three mounting holes for the ignition plate, so the plate can be rotated.

points were used up to 1980 models.

I have a 79 750E and I am certain that was the last year for points for that model. I also have a 1980GSX1100 and it has factory installed, non adjustable electronic ignition, so I suspect the 1000 to be the same.
