hi just wondered if anyone can recommend an electronic ignition kit for a TL or if its possible to fit one from another honda? thanks

I'm told that the CDIs of XR200, XL185 of around 1980 fit and that the CT125 (all the way up to 1985) will fit my '76 TL. I'm looking at replacing the points on my TL250 at some point soon (after the bike becomes a 'runner'). On some of the vintage boards, there's talk of people using CT90 (ie Postman bikes) CDI ignitions on XLs up to the 350. Can't tell you at this point if the coil and stator also need replacing but will post as I learn what is needed. There are quite a few conflicting stories out there. You could start by looking to pick up a second hand XR-XL 250-500 CDI Unit black box that will suit any XL/TL with a mechanical ignition advancer. You may have to grind a little on the points cover, or the tank, so that there is clearance.

As the farm bike CT125 (made up until 1986 I believe) uses the TL engine and gearbox that could be your best starting point.
