Electronic ignition which one? Where from? UK based
« on: June 04, 2023, 02:45:54 AM »
Hi folks,
Looking to fit an electronic ignition to a 1974 CB750K4, after recommendations to which one where to find one in the UK.
Not very electrickery minded so an easy but reliable conversion would be best.
Any help appreciated as now getting to the end of my tether and the matches and fuel can are looking tempting!! 🤣🤣

Try asking on the uk forum, i imported a couple of dyna knock offs from ebay via a friend in usa as seller wont post to uk.
Boyer have a good rep, dyna is expensive in uk, Silvers sells one but no direct knowledge of that one
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

While not IN the UK, the [cost + postage] is less than the others with mine. Are you wrestling with the 'bad condensors' problem?
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
