Mystery electrical component... Who knows what this is?

[abyssmaltailgate]

Can anyone help me ID what this thing is?

I'm starting to wire up my build, and I'm utilizing some of the new electrical components from the build the PO started; however, when I stripped the bike over a year ago, I tossed all the electrical bits in a box without figuring out what they all were.

I'm assuming this is some sort of individual regulator or a rectifier? I remember it was mounted under the gas tank near the ignition coils. I'll be running a combination reg/rec on my current build so I'm just trying to determine if this is something I need or not. Thanks!

That's your condenser "pack" (2 condensers mounted on one bracket) for the points ignition. It has nothing to do with the charging system.

Yups. So the points don't burn up so fast.

...indeed, and to answer your question directly, YES - you do need it.

Needed for points ignitions only, yes? Abyssmal, what ignition system are you using?

I'm running a PAMCO ignition with a 277* rephase. The bike's kick-only and batteryless with a capacitor and 2 dynatek single output, mini 3ohm coils
