I didn't know one was available for a CB77!
So obviously I don't know the size of the CM box.
I installed a unit through Honda305.com some - well, many - years ago, designed by Mark Whitebook. I don't think it's available now. This uses a magnetic pickup with a replacement rotor rather than using the points as the input.
As you know, there is very little room out of sight on a CB77. The module should probably be put somewhere away from the engine heat but that leaves even fewer places. Under the seat there's no space for anything much thicker than a credit card. You could use a smaller battery and use the new space but I like the electric start too much.
I put the module on the front of the tool tube. But I don't know if the HM box will fit there.
It can also fit on the back of the horn. This hides a small box pretty well, but it's more "in the weather" than on the tool tube IMO. You can pick up switched power in the headlight bucket super easy if it's there though.
Mine came with an armored (and shielded) pickup cable long enough to reach where I put it but not much farther. Th HM one should not have that restriction but there isn't anywhere more remote I can think of.

 Well,as you see with the pictures,there not much place to install it. I could install it the " tool box" but i would like to carry few tools with me,just in case....

I got an answer from Hondaman and unfortunately,its not possible to have a smaller box.I think i will remove the tool box and make something to hold the starter solenoid and the ignition box.
