alternative ignition for 750f2
« on: July 31, 2016, 03:11:56 PM »
I need some advice about alternative ignition systems for a 750f2. I have a GL1000 with dyna coils but other than that I don't know anything about what else might be available for the 750 and I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with other systems on a 750.

Great luck with Charlie's Place, bad luck with Pamco

I fitted Boyer Bransden on my F2. No issues after approx. 6000 miles so far.

This subject can be a bit of a minefield - you'll likely get several different recommendations.

Your options are:
Points with Hondman transistorizes ignition module
Dynatek Electronic
Pamco Electronic
Boyer Electronic
Charlie's Electronic
C5 Optical (electronic variant)

Or, points and condenser like they came from Honda. The question isn't whats available, is should be why do you want to change? Do you have an issue you're trying to solve, or simply looking for a replacement/upgrade?

no problem with points. the bike is due for a tuneup and I was thinking of hondaman transistor while I was at it. I think that performance is fine with the points, and the transistor will  prolong their life.

My CB750 K6 had points for 97.000 km. One point broke once, the bakelite part against the rotor.
