I am interested in getting a pair of new coils for my '82 GS1100EZ. What is the Dyna coil part number that fits my bike.
Thanks.

Patrick.
 
someone prove me wrong please, but i never seen nice fitting Dyna coils on a GS/GSX suzi.
 
I have a similar question. How do you guys mount the Dyna coils on the GS frame. There has to be some sort of offset fabrication being done. Anyone have pictures?

Here is my set up on the 1000e. Nice clean installation. Consider yourself proved wrong...

my dyna install on an 1100 e involved some nylon spacers, some washers, and a dab or two of liquid electrical tape for good measure. Haven't looked under there for a bit but i suspect I am still not 100% satisfied with the install....sorry, not helpful, eh?
 
My original coils had what appeared to be aluminum spacers but they were just a hair short for the Dyna coils. My local hardware place , Lowes, had nylon spacers of varying lengths and one fit perfectly. It was one of the simplest things to install of all the things I had to do. I will try and dig through my stuff to see if I can find the length I used but a ruler and a quick trip once you have the coils in hand will make install a snap.

The only thing wrong with a non metal spacer is that the coils need to be properly grounded to function properly.
 
seems dyna are for anybike. lots of people modding for a simple install. Isnt a big deal but seems a universal fit. Not being a smartie. but accell had everything in box and enough coil lead for 2 fittings if i remember. Pretty full on kit....

I can tell you the dyna coils on my 83 1100esd were not a straight bolt up. There had to be brackets built for them to fit, they will not bolt to the stock mounts, even with spacers.
 
"The only thing wrong with a non metal spacer is that the coils need to be properly grounded to function properly."

Depends on the system, I think. On my XS650 I ran a dual output coil with points. Only the condenser used a ground. Much discussion can be found on the whole coil grounding issue with use of the google button.
 
Its also grounded between the head of the bolt that is in direct contact with the coil and the nut that attaches to the frame. Its grounded through the bolt and the spacer isnt needed as a ground.
 
When installing aftermarket coils, how do you install the leads to the coils? I have the molex connecters where the old coils would have plugged in. I am guessing a soldering iron and some wire is in order, but which wire to which coil? I know the yellow orange wire is the 12v input and goes to both, but there has to be a signal wire that is for each coil. I'm dealing with the coils being snagged from my project a long time ago and I am also not sure of the coil to plug order.
 
I think I found it. I have been using the corrected wiring diagram, but looking at the link on Basscliff's site for the 79 850GN I see the cross over between coils and plugs and the corresponding harness colors.

So coming back to my question, what is the parts no. for the compatible Dyna coil for a 82 GS1100EZ? And would it be advisable to upgrade the original ignitor with the Dyna S too?

Part number is DC1-1. A package of two is available from Z1 Enterprises.

If your current ignitor is working, there is no need to change, but you should know that you WILL need new wires and plug caps. I have the part numbers for the caps in the parts cabinet at home, will check for them this evening.
