Points fro CB550
« on: August 02, 2009, 06:45:18 PM »
I need new points for a 1975 CB550 and I read an article here on the forum FAQ section that says to only use OEM points from either Nippon Denso or Toyo Electric Company. The author contends that most other after market stuff is "junk".

The only ones that I see on the internet or E-Bay are Diaichi brand or some other unknown brand.

Does anyone know if the NP or TEC products are still available.

Thanks

I ordered new point sets for my '75 CB550 from Service Honda a few months back.  Using part numbers 30203-300-154 / 30204-300-154, I received TEC-manufactured products.
