    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi, I have a motor out of a 79 GS 1000 ( i think thats the year? ) that i am building a sand rail with, its been in the weather for a while so the coils and the wires are all dry rotted. So my question is where is a good place to get new coils. Or is there an upgrade to do? Thanks in advance

Company called "Dyna". If it's a 1979 (meaning it has points) you'll want the 5 Ohm, if is it has an electronic ignition you'll want the 3 Ohm. Gonna cost about $120.00 for the pair, plus wires. If it is points, for another $130.00 you can use what's called a "Dyna S" to upgrade it to electronic ignition. for a total of aout $250.00.
 
Ok, thanks so how do i tell what year it is, im pretty sure its a 79 but it wouldnt hurt to check it
 
Get the dyna 3 ohm coils if you want new. Other options Ebay ! coils from a RF900, Bandit, early GSXR bolts right in . You probably have points ? If so add a 2 ohm balast resistor to the 12 V supply for the coils ( 70's Mopar ign resistor). Then you can upgrade to a dyna ign at a later date without changing the coils.
