1982 Honda CB450SC Nighthawk · Ignition Systems, Ignition Switch, Coils, Plugs, Contact Points Buying guide
The current cap is sold individually and described as resistor-style. Its wire is not supplied. The listing’s two-cap requirement is explicitly for compatible CB750 applications, so it does not establish the number of XD05F caps needed for your Nighthawk.
A broad Honda application list does not give every model the same cap arrangement. Identify the cap fitted at each lead you intend to service. The source calls for two XD05F caps on compatible CB750s; this guide keeps that model-specific count separate from your CB450SC order.
Replacing the cap leaves the original high-tension wire in use unless you source it separately. Inspect that wire and the cap-to-wire connection before ordering. A hardened or corroded lead can require additional service, while the cap listing itself supplies neither replacement wire nor a coil assembly.
One cap is supplied per item. Count the matching XD05F positions you are actually renewing on your motorcycle. The listing’s two-cap requirement concerns compatible CB750s and should not be treated as a confirmed CB450SC total.
Inspect the wire for hardening, cracks and corrosion, then compare the existing cap-to-wire connection with the replacement. The XD05F listing excludes high-tension wire, so a damaged lead needs its own replacement rather than an extra cap.
The 1982 CB450SC appears in the cap’s application list, but a changed lead arrangement still needs comparison. Match XD05F type and cap shape to the position being serviced, and verify the cap-to-wire connection before ordering.
