I can't tell from the photo if you measure the distance between the holes on your original coil is it the same as the distance between the outer most holes on your replacement coil.
It look wider to me Andy?
As you can see in my photo I had to cut out the coil mounts to fit on the 400, my 500 coils were 10mm too short so I just inserted a link bracket to the frame as they are mounted differently.

It’s not just lights that draw large currents though Ted, sit at some lights with the indicator going and you’re holding the bike on the brakes so the rear light is lit etc and as the bikes ticking over almost no charge is going to the battery, all this drains even a good battery never mind a poor one. Plus these days it’s advisable to ride with lights on etc, you need to make sure your seen etc.
That’s the point I was trying to make, don’t forget there are small bulbs lit as well like neutral, repeaters, speedo/tacho etc, it all adds up
