Ok, how about these cheap CDI modules?

Anyone use this guy

 

I have not seen this product before but it is reasonably priced and it would not take much to be more durable than stock.

 

BOOKMARKED. Thanks for the reference!

 

His name is Tom

And after several emails back and forth I was on the phone with him this past Monday.
He is sending me one of his OEM versions (no case at my request) at the price of $50.00 US + $17.00 US shipping (total $87.63 CAN).

It will have two selector switches on it;
1 for selectable preprogrammed timing settings
We could not find information for the 85 VF750F so he is programming and setting default for 85 VF700F do to some similarities he found. Where as I have a spare set of boxes from an 84 VF750F and the timing is to far advanced if I plug them in. The seconded setting will be set to the 84 specs anyways just in case there is a fault in my spares.

The second switch is for rev limiter on/of and he will default set it to 10,500

The next goodie is these boards come with USB so the user can change/adjust settings if needed.

He had it finished and in the mail to me by Tuesday morning! So I'll report back on it when it arrives in 1-2 weeks (Comming from Oregon US - BC Canada)

 

There is also these guys who I've had brief conversation with. If I could afford it and if thier communication were more reliable (consistent/timely) I would order thier system.

That's amazing. Do post your opinions on them.

 

He is popular on the magna boards and his products seem to work well.

 

I'll bet both these guys deserve our business. I haven't dealt personally with either of them, but anyone that is willing to wrench or update old V4s is OK with me!

We helped Rae-san out with some testing over at V4HondaBBS a while back. He's a good guy, but not local. Australia maybe? He was stateside a year or two ago but I missed out on meeting him. He built a really amazing CX cafe a while back, IIRC that's where the idea for these modules came from.

 

Yep pretty sure Rae-San is in Austrailia. I love the idea of running his system and am still waiting on him to send me quote for mine. One of the great things about his, is that if the pulse generators fail the micro processor can keep things going. That's one of the greatest appeals to me about it besides allowing me to make use of higher octane.. I've already had to replace my pulse generators once! (Wish I could eliminate them or buy new ones)

I'm definitely grateful for both these guys as buying 30 year old used parts at the prices being asked on eBay is just not very logical to me.
