Ok thanks it looks like there's plenty of room.just have to modify the mounts?wat about the wiring?there are 2 posts for the negative wires. Only 1 on each side of the wiring harness. Does the 1 from the wiring harness have to be split and grounded to both posts on the cool? Thks
First off I'm assuming that you posted the wrong part number. The part number should be 140403 or 140403S. That coil is suitable for use in an inductive ignition system and should be compatible with the stock ignition. They're a 3 ohm coil so no real issues there.
Finding the best way to mount them is the only real issue and that may not be too difficult. Electrically they're pretty basic. Other then that, it's just simply wiring them up. Common +12V (O/W wire) to both coils and a triggered ground for 1&4 (W wire) and a triggered ground for 2&3 (B/Y wire).
The Accel instructions are a little confusing. It says to attach the positive wire to the positive side of the coil, which is correct, but you need to connect the W and B/Y wires to the ground terminals of each coil prospectively. Those wires connect to the igniter and switch ground to the individual coils.

i responded to the part number posted...it is a large car coil.
the picture you show came from the factory with a mounting kit and will/would have fit your bike with little effort.
