Yes, red and white wires are o new coil and yes they are supplied overly long.

Thanks for the tip!

Hi All

So I am starting to get my head round fitting the new coils....

As per photos below, the original wiring is coloured blue and black/white and yellow black/white the other side.

The new ones, as per bottom photo, the wires are solid red and white, so my question is, which way round do the wires go?

thanks in advance!

I went with the FA13V ones in the end, as I found a cheaper supplier!

Thanks for your help!

Good luck with the SBS ones, they squealed when I used them.
They're now in a box under my bench with other bits and bobs labelled shite...

Thanks, I just read up on them, they seem great, but £39 for a set of pads seems bit steep for me!

Maybe I’ll get these Sbs ones

Hi All,

I need some brake pads for my 1976 CB550, just OEM quality is fine, I don't need anything fancy, any recommends?

DS ones look ok?

BTW I went for these Hedler ones, as recommended by Ted and also Ash said the higher resistance of these is better than cheaper versions.

They are yet to arrive, but I will report back.
