    Coil swap?

    Will the coils from a '78 GS 750 fit my '80 GS 550?

    The part numbers for the '78 GS 750 are 33420-31310 and 33410-31310.
    The part numbers for the '80 GS 500 are 33410-47020 and 33420-47020.

    I know this might sounds like a stupid question but I believe I read something online about switching them.

    Thanks

    They'll work fine and wire in easy. On the UK bikes the '78 750 coils are about 1cm longer than the '80 550 coils. You can overcome this by knocking up a little bracket with 2 oval holes in to allow for adjustment.

      Sorry Guys

      I gave you the wrong info, the coils are off a 1983 GS 750... Not a 1978
