Honda-SOHC

Have you wired the rest of the functions up sure mine had a common wire for something but it was ages ago.
What model is it.

This was the one I used.

The original tank (red) on my 750F1 leaked in the mid eighties probaly 85 or so, I saw an ad in MCN for Honda parts (David Silver spares) and bought a new CB750F2 tank and seat  never realising that Silvers would one day grow into such an empire.
In those days they were cheap as chips as well.

I would guess that sounds right Ash. I know he buys his stock from all over the world; it must be pretty interesting as I would guess it would be between him and CMSNL as to who can get to the spares stash first and claim it!

Got to hand it to DSS though, without him how many of us would be in a position to have restored one of our old bikes back in the 90's. Just wish he would give a deal to the VJMC and SOHC Forum members though and he would probably benefit from it in the long run as more people would restore more bikes and thus order more parts from him.

Well the known brand are more expensive and I asked DS about theirs and they couldn't tell me the resistance. So I checked with Ash, and he said go for these as the resistance is documented and correct for the bike.

Thanks for your advice and feedback, I get where you are coming from, I am also wary of cheap parts especially on the Wild West which is Ebay! However on this occasion, these coils are from Hendler, a UK based company, and supplied to the company I purchased them from, also based in UK, direct link below:

Sounds like you had a bad experience in the past, but alas it makes no difference to me if these were made in UK or PRC, especially as I already have them and they work fine! 

Time will tell

I know DSS buys most of his stock from dealers getting rid of their old or slow moving stock (or he used to, I guess the retro market has picked up a lot since the 80's & 90's and the stock is now in demand by people like us). Where did DSS buy his initial stock from to get started, was it Honda UK although Nigel's post would make that seem impossible if Honda themselves sent it to landfill?
