I just find it hard to believe that every aftermarket ignition tune up kit sucks, yet they still stay in business, and yet every reputable shop (Sirius Consolidated, CB750Supply, Outwest Motorcycles, etc) sell them.
Usually things that completely suck don't last too long in the market...
By the way, how much is your kit for a CB450? Since I'm building an "all out" model, I'd like to give it try. My points aren't too bad, either.
Edit: $70 + shipping. I will have questions (that will probably be answered by anything you send me) how to set up my points to work with your ignition. Settings CB450 points/timing is completely different than SOHC Fours.
You sell gas tank pins? Do you happen to have an eBay store? I bought some REALLY nice ones with circlips on them that don't require mushrooming for the CB450. Did they come from you?
The "gas tank pins" I have are simple screws with acorn nuts, in 18-8 stainless steel (non-sparking) and matching washers. They are just a fundraising thing I do for these forums, sending the proceeds back to the 'donations' place.
The Ignition is $72 plus shipping to the forum members, via check or money order to me. The same box fits all Twins and Fours: I also make them for 6 & 12 volt Singles, the 'brand X' Triples like Suzy and Kawi, and for vintage cars, trucks, boats, and tractors out there. The ones for cars (etc.) are a little different type from the bike versions, though.
In all cases, these just plug into the existing bike wire harnesses, with a ground wire that must go directly to the points plate (for special reasons). They are pretty easy to install, once you decide where the box should go.
