Finished install today. CB35oG. The new CMC coils weren't a perfect fit. Mounted one on the holes in the bracket where to condenser went. That worked. Bike runs GREAT. Was sputtering and dying before, now powerful and smooth to redline. Recommended!

Quick delivery, easy install for a novice bike enthusiast, just follow step by step. Everyone running an old honda must strongly consider get on of these. Upgraded my purchase with recommended extras. Do it right the first time. Running smoothly now. CB450 74model.

I've got the shockwave for my cb360t and all the other. New coils and so on. Everything you said to get. Heck all the elec. is new. including the harness. Going to wait till I get finished reassembling bike after tank, panels ect are back from paint dude. I have new points from you guys and a backup set because I try to keep backups on everything if possible. I also know the quality I get from CM. I'll get her running and tuned in with the points and then add the shockwave this winter when it's too cold to go out.

@ProducerBoy650 3 жыл бұрын

Question: Since the original trigger cam is retained, how do the electronic sensors trigger? Are the Shockwave sensors induction-triggered by the proximity of the cam lobe apex? Or is there some other strange magic happnin?

Regarding the Advancer discussion at the 3:00 mark, my 1975 CB360 has a "369" advancer and has no baseplate notch like the one shown in the video. Is there another method to determine if the cam is installed 180 degrees out (other than "bike won't run")?

Hi we have a cb250 76 model. And it's all the same with cb360 from the engine designs and others stuff the only difference is the size of the block of cb360. May i ask if this shockwave will be compatible to our cb250 if we replace our contact points? Thankyou in advance!

Reach out to our support on our website, one of our staff can dive into the compatibility there with you. It’s going to mostly come down to if the points plate fits or not.

I put a 360 in a 350 frame. I had to spread the down tubes about 3/4 of an inch. Otherwise, all else went well. Turned out not to be a great improvement. I did that way back in 1979. I always wondered why Honda bothered with a 10cc increase. It made no sense to me.

@billstrube3425 3 жыл бұрын

You guys are very hard to reach. I tried to call the number on the instruction page, but it is an old number that has been disconnected. I received my ignition about a week ago, and have been unable to start the bike since. Very difficult to set timing without three hands. I buttoned up the covers and replaced the tank, then l pushed the bike back into the corner. Maybe l will put the points back in and run it that way. PLEASE, give my a help line number.

Why doesn't Common-Motor Collective simply assemble the unit for the customer before shipping? That would eliminate a lot of the possibility of error inflicted by the person buying and installing the unit.

@@James_Sovereign I have been running the shockwave this summer on my cb360 and it has works very well. I haven't had any issues or noticed any massive difference in performance over the pamco unit. It is a very nice kit and definitely worth the money. I have been running it with the ricks stator and cmc's regulator/rectifier for the charging system and 2 dyna 5ohm coils. It is a more "polished" product than Pete's and i really feel better about the longevity of the unit considering all the electronics are potted to protect them from the elements.
