Do you know the specification of your coils (Impedance/resistance) rather than the brand.
As electronic ignition is meant to take the place of points that should work with most coils if it's for a 750 I would have thought you just need the right resistance Dyna coil.

Iirc Dyna Coils have the resistance moulded into the casing.
