Yes a great price... but the quality is "so so".

It a little tricky to get the timing and gap right as the plate isn't to the exact OEM specs. But I got 'em to work... so it was worth it to me.

for that you can get a PAMCO-

used OEM on feebay for $30 or so.
i bought 2 for that price a while back and poached the least worn parts to make a good unit w spares.

I got mine much cheaper from the Honda dealer here.  Condensers were 20 each and points were less.

You can also keep your eyes peeled on ebay.  I just found a tune up kit of NipponDenso points/condensers/plugs for $25 shipped.

I've also seen individual points (Honda) for $20ish. 

And here's points/condensers for $100 (save a few $$ maybe).

Good luck.

so whats up with the electronic system you're removing??

[neilc]

its a  RC Engeneering ignition who does no longer make them,its works and is probably a collectors item,thanks for the leads though can't see paying 130 for parts!

[neilc]

just removed my elecrtonic ignition and low and behold my spark advance was pretty much useless on one side,spring was real sloppy,anyway in thestage of setting up points,dwell and timing,have the bike running but have to fine tune it,when my new parts come or get them then do it all over,i use to be able to do this sh... in 10 minutes 30 years ago but should be no problem,if i need help hope i can get the answers i need from you guys

[neilc]

checkout jtmarks on ebay.   Contact him directly.  He is the cheapest "Honda" parts guy I've found.   Ships extremely fast and is great with communication.   I have bought from him many, many times over the last 3-4 years and would recommend him to ANYBODY.

Not definitive, but I checked a couple of jtmarks' prices against Western Honda and Western Honda was significantly lower
