Athame57:
Faced with some of the answers here I'll pay for OE then if I go down that path. I must try to find out why I'm having electrical issues though. Could the ignition fried itself as a matter of age, I have no idea how many decades old it is. I had a new harness fitted a while back but not all colours matched. I also discovered an earth wire in the front right indicator stem that isn't standard.

Bryanj:
electronics hates reverse voltage and if that happened acidentaly that's your problem. everything is built with and average "life" and a lot better it but some fail early

philward:
I fitted a complete DS aftermarket backplate/points/condensors when I rebuilt my 750k2 abot 3000 miles/6 years ago. No issues with fitment but had to replace both condensors within last 500 miles

royhall:
I have had two different complete back plates from DSS and both were in the bin in under 500 miles. So go with OE or a new electronic. All my bikes are on electronic ignition now as I'm too bloody lazy to keep setting points. ;D  I have no complaints about any of the electronic system fitted DSS, Boyer, Charlies Place, or Dynatek.

AshimotoK0:
Most aftermarket are pants including  Daiichi... even though millions of that make around and made in Japan evidently.

If you fit OEM Hitachi, Denso or Kokusan points and condensers then , in my view,  normal 'Kettering' style points system is fine for the minuscule mileages that most classics do.

Anyone know if Fuji points are any good?
