I'm in the process of a total restore on an 87 CR125. I'd like to replace the ENTIRE ignition system. Any idea if a later model CR ignition system will work? If so, what years? The problem with the 87 system is I can't find a new one, and as I said, I'd like to replace the entire thing with new stuff.

Harry:
Did you install the HPI?
How did it perform?
Do you recommend?
