They're all expensive. But I'm surprized it is giving problems. They are usually pretty indestructable.

Hi
any 600e ignition unit will work - or 660,tt600e,szr660, but only the 90-95 3tb unit will make your over rev lamp work (not important really, most 3tb owners dont even know they have one)
The ignition unit is not a cdi type so the ones you have been offered wont work.
Only pre 3tb bikes use true cdi ignition.
Let me know if you still have trouble finding one.
David Lambeth.
