    I was thinking to test them I would get 4 nice wires off a car at work if they are working good then buying the correct wires.

      I tested the coils but the plugs wont work that came off the car. I was wondering if the wires on the stock coils would work if I replaced the coil ends? If they will work what ends would work best? I am asking because the wires and the plug ends are new. I'm guessing for less than 5.00 I can replace the coil ends and be on my way. I seen some on oreily's web site for about 50 to 60 cents a piece. Thanks for the help so far and Thanks for any help to come.

        I got them installed and they work great. Bike seems to run better. I clipped off the ends of the old wires and crimped new caps on them. The wires were new. I had to grind down the mounting brackets on mine to install the coils. I also used shrink wrap to protect the wires from hitting the frame. It worked out really well but would have been better if I could have used the second holes.

          These work best with a Dyna S IMO.

            I will keep an eye out in case someone scraps a bike with one on it.

              How does the Dyna S improve the performance of the coil?

                Nice job making a new bracket. I didn't bother creating a new bracket, but there was precious little room for the Dyna Green in the stock coil location on the 650G. I certainly have in mind that I'd like to improve the mount at some point.

                  I was riding back home from a short ride and bike started running like crap. I checked the bike when I got home and 1 coil was bad it was the secondary circuit. I have got a used on off ebay on its way to use. I'm not sure what happened to it. The plug ends are nkg, not to old.Everything else seems okay? I'm wondering if I should check anything or is this a problem with aftermarket coils. They were running great.Thanks for any info.

                    It would be hard to tell what happened. Personally I would dump the cobbed wires unless they are copper and just spend the $17.00 for a good set of Dyna 8mm suppression wires at Z1. If your wires are not copper, you are putting another resister on resistive wire with the plug caps.

                      I'm with OldVet66. Put a quality set of suppression wires on there, and ditch those expensive suppression caps. Easy peasy.

                        I think I will, I probably should have done that from the start. They are copper wires though. They have them on ebay also. I will get me some this weekend either way. Thanks

                          Do you have something against Z1? Same price as your EBay seller:

                            save a few bucks shipping that is all. If I needed more stuff right now no problem. That is all.Those are 7mm some were saying use 8mm? That is why I ask. I thought the coils came with the 7mm wires. Does it matter if you get the copper ones?

                              The 8mm are suppression wires and do not require the PITA ceramic resistance caps. The 7mm shown by BigD are copper core and require the expensive ceramic caps. Do yourself a favor and get the suppression wires and give the ceramic caps the boot. Double entendre' intended.
                              Z1 does carry the suppression wires also, in both sizes.
                              The eBay seller does offer free shipping.
