Re: new guy here with some questions

I have always found the factory location to be a bad place to access for the condenser. Unless you're fastidious and want the bike exactly as manufactured, maybe consider putting the condenser in a more accessible spot - not that it gets changed regularly. The 2 hoses either side of the carb, just r...

Re: new guy here with some questions

I don't think you will have any problems at all with spares from Classic Honda Restoration. I replaced the original red/orange-coloured, finned, selenium rectifier with a modern regulator-rectifier unit from Charlie's Place. These are still available. It is possible, but I think unlikely that a magn...

Re: new guy here with some questions

There is probably nothing Bill Silver does not know about Honda Dreams. However, I think you could safely purchase a cheap equivalent coil from...

Re: new guy here with some questions

Yes, wiring often gets modified for good intent, but sometimes with poor results. Often it pays just to work thru it methodically returning it to original where possible, but also documenting any changes or updates. A whole replacement wring harness can assist and sometimes these come up at a reason...
