AboutBill Silver Expertise Need help with vintage Hondas from the 1960s? I am an expert with 250-305cc bikes in particular and most all of the other pre-91 models, in general. I do NOT claim to have a great deal of experience on Gold Wings, Cruisers, ATC/ATVs and dirt bikes.
Experience I have owned/ridden/maintained Honda motorcycles for 35 years. I have written five books on Honda repairs and collecting. I was a service manager for two Honda shops back in the 1980s.

Question I was just wondering if you know of any online stores where I could get a spark plug for a 1981 Honda xr80. all of the places i have looked don't carry them. thank you
Answer Cory, the spark plug is a NGK C-7HS(A) which may be superseded by a CR-7HS or you can use a ND U22FS
Not sure why local Honda dealers or M/C parts houses wouldn't carry one of them. It is a pretty common plug.
The CR series of plugs are resistor plugs. If you have resistor spark plug caps and resistor plugs it might be too much for the ignition system, depending on how strong all the parts are now, after 28 years.
Google "NGK C7-HS" and see many other sources for these plugs.
