Hondamans ignition uses the points to trigger an electronic ignition. Better spark at high RPM's than the dynas, etc.

The MSD is an electroic ignition.

I haven't seen comparative results from an MSD on a SOHC4.

the msd unit uses the points as a trigger to and has a jumoer plug to go bike stock if you have battery or charging issues
