Re: new guy here with some questions
As an alternative idea, I have had success using the original coil and grafting a new pair of wires to it with in line spark plug wire splices. I have used them with several original honda coils and have never had a problem. If originality is the point these can usually be located within the frame.

CA77 Speedometer

Re: a couple novice questions
Superhawk side stands were optional and are bolt on. When I got my Superhawk, I bought one and installed it. Re throttle cables, I don't really remember but check the parts book.

I put a dropper full of kroil in each cylinder about once a week for about 6 weeks. After a few weeks, I bumped the engine with the rear wh...
