1979 Honda CB750L Limited · Ignition Parts Buying guide
The Limited selection includes D8EA plugs, replacement coils and a keyed ignition switch. Coil options differ in supplied leads, so compare contents before assuming the old wires can be discarded.

The Rick’s coil comes with wires attached. The other linked replacement coil specifies separate 7mm high-tension wires. Both list two coils per motorcycle, but that requirement should not be mistaken for a two-coil package. Confirm the quantity being ordered.
A modified ignition system can require a particular coil resistance and plug-cap arrangement. Follow the ignition manufacturer’s requirements before substituting a performance coil. Do not infer horsepower gains or electrical suitability from a product title or broad CB750 fitment alone.
No. Honda specifies transistorized ignition for the 1979 Limited. Identify any later conversion before ordering ignition service parts rather than choosing a contact-point kit from a general CB750 listing.
Honda's Limited specification lists NGK D8EA as the standard plug, with DR8ES-L specified for the Canadian model. It also separates cold-climate and extended-high-speed applications. Match the plug to the original market and operating conditions, and check any modified ignition's requirements.
A separate base repair kit is listed for the matching replacement switch. Identify the installed switch first, because a repair kit for that switch should not be assumed to fit every aftermarket ignition lock.
