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.

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.

Am replacing the coils on my 82 GS850GLZ with Dynateks DC1-1 3 ohm coils that support 7mm or 8mm wires.
Trying to get an idea on what brand of wires to either avoid or look into.
J&P sells wires that are Spiro-Pro core wires and claim they conduct 10 times more then standard, $40 for 4 but have the plug/coil boots and terminals factory installed.
Crane has 8.5mm Reactive core but not sure they will fit the coils I have or if they are any good.
Dynatex sells 7mm solid copper core wires $20 set or 8mm Suppression wires with a high grade graphite core $20 also.
Accel has suppression core for $25 but are 8.8mm
Anyone have any problems with wires. Is thicker better, suppression over copper? all too confusing and too many choices.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated..

Thanks Bill

I bought a set for a dodge 318 - 4 of the wires were just about right in length (could have been a bit shorter), plus it gave me 4 spares that are a little long. One of these days when I get a round tuit I am going to try and shorten one of the spares and see if it still works well.

Common motor, so it shouldn't cost much

PS. I got my coils on ebay and bought the wires locally, if I had bought the coils at a dealer I would just have brought in the Dyna wires at the same time.
 
I bought a set of yellow universal Dyna wires for something like $24 at the local auto parts emporium. If I had been more patient, I could have gotten them in groovy blue or pink.

It's a set for a V-8, so now I have an extra set when these get dirty.

Don't overthink this -- 27mm s00per Ph4t double wound triple core titanium mouse fur death spark plug wires are a silly waste of money on any vehicle. Almost anything will work great.

Also, use the stock NGK or ND plug. We have proven over and over again that fancy plugs don't make one single iota of positive difference in a GS.
 
Dyna coils, Dyna suppression core wires, auto style ends. NO plug caps
A wire set from a older Honda is supposed to work
 
Taylor wires and NGK caps here. Any good wires and caps will be nice.
