Keep in mind.  1. I'm just doing this to help get the price down, I don't represent them, design them etc.  Any warranty or installation issues, you use the factory warranty and go directly through the Czech's. 2. Don't be in a rush, the Czechs placed the  first order very quickly, but US customs took 3 weeks to release them. 3. Any doubts as to whether it fits, installation etc., ask on this list or check the numerous previous posts. 4. I can add users outside the US to the order,  you'll probably pay a few bucks more for shipping, but might save that on the group discount or taxes saved, do the math. 5. It looks like we'll be into the winter CX doldrums, if there's no rush, the more units people can commit to, the better the price. 6. Depending on interest or lack thereof, we'll have a definitive cutoff date for this. 7. If someone comes up with a better/cheaper alternative in the meantime, sign me up too. 8. The price is VERY dependent on exchange rates (Euro-Dollar).  So far the exchange has been pretty steady, but something to keep in mind. Use U$180.00 as a unit price (5 or fewer units) to make your decision whether it's worth it to you to get in on this, the more units ordered, the cheaper they get. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

Otherwise, if no one is in a rush a couple months if people keep manifesting their interest.

I want one of these new CDI's too for my Honda 1978 CX500.  I personally am not in any hurry and prefer that more people get in on this group buy to give a better price.  (EDIT:  I may even buy two of these especially if installing this CDI eliminates the stator)  Is this CDI a direct replacement for what is stock in my motorcycle?  What I mean I guess is do I have to be an electrical genius or do I have to program it to make it work??  Did I read somewhere that this CDI unit does not depend on the stator for it's voltage???  Others must have installed these, since you had a group buy previously, so how are they working out? Sorry for asking so many questions.  I think I read everything I could find regarding this subject but maybe didn't find it all.  Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions JimE ==== (  EDIT:  I may even buy two of these especially if installing this CDI eliminates the stator.  Also I did find a link to the install of this CDI and the startup of the motorcycle.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEEiB65FznM  )    Report

10-13-2009, 8:05 PM Blindstitch Joined on 03-14-2009 Greenfield Wisconsin Posts 9,863 Re: CDI *NEW* Ignitech Group buy. I don't know about it being exactly plug and play but pretty close. The only part that isn't plug n play is the power source or red wire that has to be tapped into an ignition supplied power source. The nice part is that black wire is just under where the coil wires connect. I tested it first before I tapped into any wires so I hooked up a test light to the wire and watched the light go on and off as I turned the key on and off. It's a pretty good deal seeing as used 30 year old cdi's are going for $100 and for $60 more you can go with something programmable with a warranty. I haven't used my bike as much as I want since installing it but I feel confidant in my purchase. I only wish I had bought it in the spring so I could test it more thoroughly and then I wouldn't have had an old cdi die on me and leave me stranded. Also and addition of new coils for $14 on ebay made it seem even more reliable. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report

OK, I'm going to tally up what we've got so far and put in a request for a Pro-Forma invoice, to get an exact price for the units.  As it stands now, there will be the volume discount (quantity will be added to the previous group buy's price break.)  These will be a bit more because your dividing up the fixed shipping and export taxes by a smaller group of buyers. So, click on "PM" at the bottom of this post, and put your User Name in the subject box, so I know who you are. Let me know how many units you want and are willing to commit to. That's it. I'll tally up the exact number of units, get a price and post it here.  AFTER I get a final price, I'll post your cost per unit here.  Then we'll proceed from there, so make your intentions known, I'd like to get this one done by the end of November. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

Vdot-if you go back and read some of my posts in the original group buy, all the pricing is there, and translated into simple English.  In a nutshell, if you want to buy a single unit yourself directly it'll be close to $250 each.  I will close the group buy the first week of November.   I will submit whatever number of units have been committed to by Monday, Nov. 2nd to Ignitech, whatever their Pro-Forma price +U$11 for internal shipping will be the final price.  $11 is actual cost for priority mail small box with $250 insurance.  If it gets lost or stolen in the mail, this will cover the cost of ordering an individual replacement unit directly yourself. Canadians: (there were 2 in the first buy), you have a choice for shipping.  Priority mail is the same price to Canada BUT, big BUT, there is NO insurance or tracking available to Canada for Priority Mail at this price rate.  If you want insurance and tracking, you have to kick up the Postal delivery service, and it will cost about $45 to ship with insurance/tracking.  FWIW, both CDI's to Canada were shipped via regular un-tracked, uninsured Priority mail and arrived fine, it's at your risk though, something to keep in mind. Right up to the time I close the buy,  new buyers can join in or anyone who changes their mind can opt out.  1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

I'd like to get in on the group buy if it is still possible.  My bike is in storage, and I'm living about 17 000km away.  But when I get back to it next summer I'm pretty sure its gonna need one of these. 1980 CX Deluxe    Report

Has everyone who wants in read this entire thread, and the thread from the previous buy that Cobram linked in his first post?  Has everyone sent Cobram a PM with "your User Name in the subject box, so (he) know(s) who you are", and the number of units you are committing to buy?  I don't want to see anyone miss out because he didn't follow instructions.

If you DO NOT have a PM from me, you ARE NOT on the buy list.  If you do have a PM, and no longer wish to participate, please PM or Email me with your intentions. Am awaiting a Pro-Forma from Ignitech, as soon as I have that I will post final price here and PM everyone with further instructions. I asked about the connector too, but it's a huge PITA to replace those pins and get them out of the old connector, and the connector on the bike attaches very firmly.  A one cent zip tie would be just as secure and much easier if you want to make the existing connection 1000% secure.  1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.

Drumroll please.   I have the final price, can't replicate the price for the last buy because of shipping, shipping has gone up about 20% over the last order, but the good news is we've got 10 units committed to, so it will only add about $2 a unit. Final Total price, delivered Priority Mail w/$250 insurance to each person's doorstep (in the USA) is U$163.00.  The Group Buy will close on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9th.  If you've wandered in here and are reading this a day or two after the closing date, the company ships on Fridays, so they MAY be able to accommodate a straggler after that, but don't count on it.  There is also the possibility that someone will change their mind after the order is placed, so it doesn't hurt to ask, even if the buy is closed (happened on the first group buy.) I'll be PM'ing and emailing those that have already confirmed with payment instructions in the next day or so. 1978 CX500 - I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end.
