74' CL360 Ignition & Electrical Suggestions

[cleoncleon]

Hello good sirs.


I just about have my engine built and bolted down, so now I'm onto electrical.

So I guess long story short, I need an entire electrical/ignition system, so, what options do I have? if any.


I just ordered a clean Wiring Harness off ebay for starts, as-well as a points assembly plate.


I know I need (2) condensers, (2) coils, (1) rectifier, (1) regulator, and fuse box, does that seem right? what else is missing?
With that being said, what's the deal with the (MikeXS) Coils? I know I will need some, the few I have looked chewed up..




The bike itself will be Kickstart only with a Headlight, Taillight, and Tach..
I know there's mod/upgrades and such for ignition, but I just want a full/reliable spark, for a cheap as possible, though proper.

I have the CB360 for 74. It only has one condenser, which is mounted above the right side coil under the tank.

I am in a similar boat as my harness is in shambles. Anyone have a super simple diagram that just does ignition, charging, and starting duties?

Ah okay, looking at my chew'd up parts, I see that. My condensor on her looks okay.. The Coil is cut, as well as the 4 other ones I have lying around.


So, I'm thinking, (1) Condenser, (2) MikeXS Coils (I think, can't find any good OEM ones) and then to my harness.
I found this little diagram, forgot from where, but it looks just about right.

Besides that, what other little things will I need to get the bike running?
So far, (1) Fuse Box, (1) Rectifier, (1) Regulator.. and Battery ?

One of the points leads is Blue, not black.
On Honda, black is a live feed after ignition switch (12v+)

I went ahead and ordered a 76' CB360 lot of electrical parts.


- Rectifier
- Regulator
- Fuse box
- Brake Switch


$54.00 shipped, hopefully this will fit on my 74' CL360, don't see why not.


I think all that's left is; a Battery, (2) coils.
Then bike should be firin' up.
