    You might check with Dynatek on whether or not you need their coils (of course they're going to TRY to sell them to you) but its been my understanding that their ignition systems work with both the STOCK GS coils, as well as other aftermarket coils. On the relay mod, one thing to keep in mind is that if your battery, for whatever reason, gets low enough, it may not have enough juice to open the relay at all, which wouldnt even allow you to bumpstart the bike ( I had this problem on one of my bikes. I used a heavy duty, sealed automotive grade relay, because some people complained about the cheaper ones buring out.) Perhaps an A/B switch may be a good idea, so you can bypass the relay if you so choose...

      If it worked with the Dyna S It should be just fine with the Dyna III

          Here is the install manual for the Dyna III; it seems to be a straight replacement for the stock ignitor. So with a coil relay mod powering all three (igniter, 14 coil, 2-3 coil) from the output of the relay would be appropriate.

          The compatibility of coils with the Dyna III is a different matter however, the manual says right in the first paragraph it is designed for at least 3 ohms resistance.

          This has to do with how much current the Dyna can sink (total current running through the coils) without getting hot. If the coils are lower resistance then there is more current flowing and the device needs a larger heat sink and current carrying capacity (i.e. more $$$).

              I've run stock coils on my GS1000 for a few years with the Dyna III with no trouble. I did update to the Dyna 3 ohm coils this winter. Haven't tried it yet, as matter of fact I hope it starts.
