[net.cycle] Electronic ignition for older bikes

redbud@ihuxq.UUCP (John Taska) (05/01/84)

I have a 75 Honda 400F motorcycle that I have considered putting
electronic ignition on.  I understand that I can put it in for about
$75 dollars and 15 minutes worth of work.  Has anyone out there done
anything similar and could give me some advice.  Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I (once) had a Honda CB750K6 (750/4) to which I added
an electronic ignition.

I recommend adding the system, as performance goes 'way up.

BUT:  after you install your new ig., ride around the block 
      for a few hours.  The deal is that if the unit is going 
      to fail, it will generally fail immediately, or in 5 years.
      So, stay close to home for a while.

      Good Luck!
