What is available in CDI for 79 CBX ? Mine are leaking and I might as well update to the latest and greatest. Are there performance gains to be had? Would you suggest anything else to be updated?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

Re: CDI
When you say they are leaking i am guessing you are referring to the spark units on the underside of the battery?

Re: CDI
I've had my CBx since Aug. 1978; now with 122,000 miles. Sport kit, mostly original. While doing a cosmetic restoration, I found my spark unit ( under battery ) melted. It ran (?) on three or four cylinders. I bought a used one - then it popped on one cylinder. Then I bought a new unit - no fire at all.
I've cleaned all connections; all the wiring is satisfactory. The machine looks absolutely new, but it won't run !!
Any ideas ?
BTW, I used Evinrude silver engine paint in a rattle can. It's a perfect match with original and is fuel-proof. WoW !!! Does it ever look great. ( Too bad it doesn't run. )

Re: CDI
Congrats on being an original owner and still having the bike! Nice mileage too. When you say you bought a new unit, do you mean a new aftermarket spark unit or an NOS Honda one?
