Coils
« on: April 20, 2014, 11:13:36 AM »
Hi,
The HT lead on one of my coils is broken,just at the coil. I am wanting to replace both coils. Are the ones that D.S. sells any good?
Has anybody fitted those? What are my options?  Advice,please. :) :)
  cheers,  Kenny.

Kenny,
Just had a look on some sites and legit are no longer available.DS Replicas are a damm good price in my view with all the 400s he is restoring got to be a good bet.Cant remember if mine were genuine or not will dig it out later from the mountain of invoices I have.Hows the tank coming?
Cheers

Kenny,

I have a pair of DSS supplied coils that I bought for my CB400f restoration.
Recently I put some Dyna 5 ohm coils on the bike instead .....I have the Dyna S ignition which ideally needs 5 ohm coils , the DSS coils measure 3 ohm or thereabouts.
Make me an offer.
