Sorry for what seems to be a lazy question but before I left town for my job I noticed that my 82 GS1100GL that I have recently purchased has yellow coils. I didn't have time to investigate any further before I left but I am guessing that these are Accel coils. Am I right on this assumption? Or do other manufacturers make yellow coils. If they are man I got a better deal than I thought. The more I dig into the bike the more I find that one of the previous owners has fixed a lot of the original problems associated with these bikes and maintained it very well. I was very pleased to find that my splines in my rear wheel are silver in color and in excellent condition.

Yes, the yellow coils are likely Accel.
I also got two bikes with them.
Good score.

I have them on my GPz. Excellent coils.
Did you happen to get the yellow wires that came with the kit as well?Comment

Awesome no yellow wires but it does have new NGK wires and caps. When I have some free time I plan on going through all the wires hopefully that's all sorted as well. I know my rear spline is silver and not gold and in Excellent condition. Which made me happy As well. Thanks for the quick response guys.Comment

You want some yellow wires?
They were the first things to come off when the bike came home.

About 10 years ago, I scored an open-box deal at an auto parts store for a set of yellow Accel wires for a V8 engine for $10.
The other four wires, a bunch of leftover connectors and boots, and a couple of spare coil wires are still in a box on my shelf, waiting for the wires on my bike to get damaged or something...
True, they are kinda ugly with the yellow wires and orange boots, but hey, they work great...
