Update: After some experimenting and modification, I was able to make these points work, in that I was able to get them adjusted "to spec", with the proper points gap (0.012"). I also added a very small washer under the keeper on the center post, which helped to get the pads into better alignment with each other. What I ultimately had to do to make them able to gap properly was to sand/file the points cam follower (the part that rubs directly on the points cam) by 1/16" or so - it was considerably longer than the original set of points, and so I used a flat surface and some 200 grit sandpaper to take off enough length until it approximately matched the original. After that, I was able to properly gap this set of points, and the bike started and ran just fine afterwards. All in all, this set of points cost me quite a bit of time and effort to make them suitable for use...way more time than they were worth, for certain, but perseverance won the day.Original post: I recommend that you save your cash and seek higher quality points. I tried hard to make these do what they are supposed to do - maybe I just got a "lemon" part...I don't know, but I definitely could not get them gapped to spec no matter what I tried, and so I could not get my '70 K2 CT90 timed properly and running smoothly using these points. These are pretty close to identical in appearance to the OEM points that had been on my bike for probably the entirety of its 52 years of service...but, as my dad used to enjoy saying, "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." The upper point bracket of the part that I received appeared to be bent at a slightly-greater-than 90 degree angle, which resulted in the point pads not meeting flush on the flats of each point pad, but on an edge. The point pads were also slightly offset to each other - so, the bottom pad was slightly out of alignment with the top. Additionally, the center part (I'll call it the points-rocker: the milled resin-colored piece) was mounted loosely on its shaft with a keeper holding it on the shaft, and did not have a washer to help keep the point pads in alignment. On installation, there was simply no way to get the gap set to less that 0.016" and so, while the bike would start and run (somewhat roughly), the ignition was fully advanced at idle and all speeds, and the engine would stumble at higher RPM. This was observed with a brand-new and properly functioning spark advancer assembly in place on a bike that had been running very well overall. Prior to installing these points, the bike was running well using the old points, and had been dynamically timed "dead on" the F mark at 1300 RPM and fully advanced at 3500 RPM. The root cause, as it appears to me, is that the assembly is ever so slightly "off" from its OEM cousin. I considered and rejected drilling out the outside base-anchor hole (on the cylinder side of the assembly), to try to make it possible to gap the points more accurately. I decided to simply buy a higher-quality part elsewhere and chalk this up to a fairly inexpensive, but ultimately time- and money-wasting experiment. So, I put the old original points back in place, to wait for the (next) replacement points to arrive, and I was able to gap them to 0.012" and set the timing back to spec very easily. To be completely fair, I did not attempt to get a refund, as I had to do quite a lot of fiddling around to try to get them properly set. The seller that I purchased from IS a reputable seller that I have used (and will continue to use) - the issues that I experienced have nothing to do with the seller, but rather with the quality of the part itself.

This upgrade helped, with the coil and condenser, to make what was many kicks to start, to 1/2 - 1 and them I'm off.

Do not buy these. I purchased 2 of these. I installed one set in my Honda TL125 and they lasted 15 minutes. Upon inspection, the insulator on the bolt had melted, grounding out the points. The second set did the same thing. Poor quality. I am not sure where they are made. I will not buy these again. I bought my next set from the Honda dealer. Paid more money but the points work!! JIM H
