1982 Honda CB900C Custom · Ignition Parts Buying guide
The original CB900C ignition uses pulser generators, spark units and a mechanical advancer. It does not use contact points. Identify any aftermarket ignition before selecting coils, plugs or replacement electronics.

For the 1982 Custom, Honda specified NGK DR8ES. NGK’s discontinued-plug table gives DR8EA as the replacement, supporting the featured DR8EA plug without calling it the original code. The featured Rick’s coil is supplied with attached wires. Other coils may need separate leads and must meet the ignition maker’s electrical and mounting requirements.
The complete ignition switch includes its fork-lock function and keys. Repair kit 12-0064 is for the specified replacement-switch base design; it is not a universal repair for every original switch, a worn key barrel or a heat-damaged loom connector.
The original system is transistorized, so it has no contact-point set or points gap to adjust. Check plugs, connections and ignition components using the correct Honda procedure; identify any conversion before buying parts.
The original coils serve pairs 1 and 4, and 2 and 3. A fault affecting one pair makes its shared coil, supply, wiring and ignition channel worth checking, but does not prove the coil alone is faulty.
No. Match the ignition system’s required coil resistance, wiring arrangement, mounting and plug-lead connections. A broad model tag or similar appearance is not enough, especially after an electronic-ignition conversion.
