Been, like a few thinking of fitting a Boyer kit when I have some spare pennies.
I have identified kit 00089 for existing coils or kit 00289 that comes with coils.
I have a set of new aftermarket coils, so was thinking of using 00089 but what is the required primary resistance for kit 00089. Is there any advantage from using the Boyer coils in anyone's experience?
Also, can anyone recommend a supplier, as the Boyer site links only to 2 U.K. Distributors but they don't list the Honda kits on their web sites
Sorry if I am asking what has been asked many times before.

Hi Paul, I have very recently been through the same process. I understand that if using own coils you need plug caps with 5k resistance (which are cheaply available from www.gsparkplug.com).

I emailed boyer and received the following on email
"We can supply you with this kit direct to yourself.
This kit is suitable for Honda CB400/550/750.
The price of this kit £131.70 which includes VAT and postage.
Should you wish to place an order you can call us direct and pay with your card details over the phone. Alternatively, we can send you a PayPal invoice but there is a small fee of £2.50 for this."
Hope this helps, Peter (https://flic.kr/p/X45nce)

Boyer themselves are very helpful and friendly, some years back i asked if they could supply testing data to eliminate a fault for a contact in US and it came through almost imediately

Go for the 00089 and fit resistor caps, but do not use resistor plugs at the same time, you will get the system cheaper by going direct to boyer, they are easy to fit and work really well, technical support is first class, i used to live 10 minutes away from them and always went to the production shop, they are a small family run cottage type business working in the grounds of the family home, just 4 people1 baby and a dog the last time i went there a couple of years ago
