And considerably less than the £108 for a pair of new Dyna coils on that web site.  :o  Can't argue with that.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Next time you have your tank off maybe snap some pix and post your "conversion", mounting brackets, etc.  This will most likely come in handy for somebody down the line.  I suppose we can add BMW grey coil failure to the list of inevitable events along with death and taxes!  ;)

I  replaced my OEM red upgraded coil last October. It was giving me hard starting problems after 11 years on the bike, so I would stay away from the grey and red OEM coil for an R65. I heard about using the dual output coil from a K100, but not alot available around here, the few that I saw for sale were about what I paid for a Dyna coil.

I was looking into Gold Wing coils as I had heard that some of them would work and they were plentiful and dirt-cheap on e-Bay.  Trouble was I couldn't seem to find a seller willing/able/possesed of enough brain cells to measure the primary resistence for me!  ::) I got the pair of Dynas from MPS Racing for about $130 plus shipping so that wasn't too bad.  I now have a spare for the ol' lady's '84 when it decides to bite the dust...  :P
