What brand are people using for good points and condensers and where do you find them.
Thanks

I have been getting away with old original stuff salvaged from parts bikes for years now...but I have and have had a LOT of bikes. Last I new Honda was the only source for oem quality. I know...expensive right? Anything else is pretty much gonna be Daiichi brand, which is useless garbage.

Welcome to the forum.
The best is from Honda. Aftermarket points and condensers fail miserably fast.
What bike do you have that you want the points and condensers for?
Where are you located?? (Put that in your profile) Where you are also effects location to get parts from for lower shipping costs......
Go to the new members section and introduce yourself and your bike.

South sound Honda sells complete points plate cheaper than buying replacement points and condensers…seem to recall it was in the $80 range

Tried South Sound 2 months ago and they no longer have that complete part. However they sent me to a shop in Ark. Price was close to $160.

I have a 1978 cb550. Does Honda list points for that old of a bike. What would it match up to.

I just bought genuine points for my xl250. The contacts touched only on one edge, and I had to grind one slot in order to mount the points. I had to bend the stationary contact to make proper contact.

For the price of a new genuine Honda points plate you could get a Dyna S. I'm not saying its better than points but it's definitely not worse and maintenance free once installed and timed. The Dyna S was made to work with stock or stock replacement style coils.

A friend of mine made many good points about installing a magnetic pickup electronic ignition and condensed it into a list, so I bought one off the internet.

This is $106 plus shipping, it’s a TEC. And is called a Honda item.
I imagine it’s good but of course we can’t tell how good the condensers are.

TEC points are excellent quality.
