You may be able to adapt the pieces from an electronic ignition model. I'm sure some of the guy's would have this knowledge already. It would probably be the cheapest and be easy to do. There are some other posts for using pick up's and and Igniter from the auto trade, ie Chevy HEI.
Good luck and Get Rid Of The Points so you can set it and then forget it as it should be maintenance free, that means more riding time. Points are for the Die Hard restorer as they are always wearing through the best setting as well as pitting causing weak coil charging time: "DWELL"

I remember reading that the KZ440 had a year with electronic ignition that will fit the other twins.

1979 KZ-750 Twin
