I've had this 73 mx250a sitting around and I need to get it moving. What options do I have for replacing the CDI unit on this bike? I'm not concerned about keeping original parts. I see tons of CDI units available for newer bikes- has anyone had luck swapping in a more common unit?

I use PVL ignitions.

Thanks for the link! I checked them out and they look like a quality complete product.

What do we know about modules that utilize the current/stock generator setup?

They are old and not very good when they were new. I personnaly would not waste my money on these old electrical parts. If you want to be original you will pay close to the same price and the bike might run for 2 days and your down again. The PVL is modern electronics with factory warranty. Just make sure you ground them properly.
