Would someone please show me a simple diagram of how to use a
transistor to fire the ignition coils on a 750 Honda motorcycle - I
just want to have the breaker points switch the transistor to fire the
coils so the points do not burn/wear out so fast.

Thanks.

THANKS !
This is JUST what I needed to see.

Thanks again>>>>>>>>>!!!

I figured it would be perfect.

You want to make sure you use a choke with at least the 10-15 ohms of
resistance specified (one with a lower resistance may effect how the
transistor turns on).

That is a germanium transistor specified. They can still be found.
Use a silicon part and you may need to tweak the design some.

What year 750? I'm riding an '81.
