    JR, there are too many factors involved to say that one is better than the other.
    Spark energy,rise times and voltage output are all factors.
    I have had GS and Kawasaki OEM coils, Accel yellow and Dyna Green coils all in my hands at once.
    All I can say is that the OEM coils looked and felt like toys compared to both the Dyna and the Accel coils. Clearly heavier and larger, meaning more windings, hence a hotter spark.
    I had the greens on the GS and have the yellows on the GPz, and I prefer either to the OEM coils afa producing a hotter spark.

      Well I got a chance to look at the coils yesterday and they are accel super coils but the mounting holes don't line up with the frame on the bike so previous owner has one end of each coil bolted on and the other end zipped tied down. So I am guessing that they are for a different motorcycle. However they work fine. May change them later on or fabricate a bracket I suppose.

        I would bolt em down with a new bracket as I doubt that a winding likes to get beaten about.

        I have my fuse box and reg\rect ziptied on and I know its it'll do in a pinch solution

          the accel's was universal.
          you get what you get with those.
          they only came with the slotted/clamped bracket's.

            Thanks for the info I will have a closer look then when I get some time and make a bracket for them.

              Yes, this is the correct way to approach the issue. Custom bracket good, zip tie bad.

                As for the brackets that come with the Accel coils, I just trimmed mine to fit. Didn't take much either, good tight attachment. And I like the yellow wires and orange boots. I will take any that are offered lol.

New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

                  I guess the PO threw out the brackets because I have none lol. Figures my luck. Won't be a problem to make some though just need the time to do it.
