Can yer post a pic of the CDI unit... A lot of Honda's at that time used the same CDI..
XR/XL & CB range were the same unit... the 4cyl used 2 units..
is it about the size of a match box cast in alloy with a bolt flange on one end...

Maybe go to the likes of Ron Ayers website and compare part numbers between models.

Go to a Honda dealer and check out options / availability / prices of new one's ... :yes:

Better than getting 20+ year old one's that were working ... ;)

Genuine Honda one available from David Silver Spares in UK, not cheap though: https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CX500-1978/part_112548/

Honda part # 30400-415-015 if you want to Google it and wade through the results you might find one cheaper. Ebay has used OEM Honda and some new aftermarket ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=honda+30400-415-015&_osacat=0&_from=R40&LH_PrefLoc=2&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xhonda+cx500z +cdi+ignitor&_nkw=honda+cx500z+cdi+ignitor&_sacat=0
