The SMP Streak condenser is designed to absorb electrical surges that occur when the ignition points open, preventing damaging arcing and excessive wear on the points themselves. This not only extends the life of your points but also contributes to a more stable and powerful spark at the spark plug. With features like ventilated contacts and copper shunts, this condenser helps maintain precise ignition timing across the RPM range, leading to smoother engine operation and more reliable starting for your classic Harley or Indian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptimize Your Points Ignition System\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilated contacts reduce heat and improve durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper shunts eliminate point bounce for stable timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive screw-type terminal ensures a secure electrical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect OEM replacement for straightforward installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEssential for Consistent Spark\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're experiencing symptoms like weak spark, hard starting, or inconsistent engine performance on your V-twin with points ignition, a failing condenser could be the cause. Replacing it with an SMP Streak condenser can revitalize your ignition system, ensuring that your engine receives a strong, consistent spark. This component is an inexpensive yet critical part of keeping your vintage Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycle running reliably, delivering the consistent power you expect on every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:20px 0 6px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCDR60X\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 025623428345\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:22px 0 8px;\"\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"vt-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 3px;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat is the primary function of a condenser in a points ignition system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe condenser's main function is to absorb the voltage surge when the ignition points open, preventing arcing across the points and ensuring a stronger, more consistent spark at the spark plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 3px;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWill this condenser work with an electronic ignition system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eNo, this SMP Streak condenser is specifically designed for V-twin motorcycles with traditional points-style ignition systems.
