I can't remember where I got the contact for this , ICOA or CBX WORLD, but last year , in view of a restoration, I bought a replacement spark igniters set from
PROCOM Engineering in Irvine CA, after reading a convincing description, and tired of the gooey melting OEM part. The part # was PE-C-MH900-A , I paid
then $118.50 delivered and took it out again recently to start installing it. Then I realized that the connectors were different, the 3 identical connectors matched the late model pro link but not the early 79 set up (3 different sizes & color) . So a year later, contacted PROCOM and promptly got a reply from
Ritzo Muntinga , GM offering a full refund . Instead I offered to send him back the set with the OEM part to re wire it the same way. Ritzo is a big CBX fan and accepted . I received the re-wired part shortly after, free of any charges , even shipping. He askeed me to leave him a set of the OEM part for future reference so he could create a different part number in case there was interest from the CBX community to order similar set for the early models.
His igniter set seems to be built quite well, the only minor issue is that the igniter casing is a touch wider than stock so they don't fit tightly side by side on the bracket, but can be attached anyway with the original screws, or would require either a different bracket with 1 or 2mm more space between the mounting screws, or a modification of the stock one.
If interested, call Ritzo at (949) 748 6338 or e.m. him at info@procomeng.com , good folks to work with

Thanks for the heads-up, JP.
Great to see a company backing its product with follow-up and feedback.

Re: SPARK UNITS alternative
When do you anticipate a completion to see how these units perform?
