    I was sent gs750 coils instead of gs1100

    Will these work? Do they still send out the correct voltage?

    How do you know they're from a 750?

    In 83 the coils were the same between the 750 and 1100. Other years were slightly different but all were 12V system coils. I see no reason they wouldn't work. Do you know if the 750 coils came from a points or electronic ignition system?

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

      Mine are cylindrical and white. These are much smaller and black. And the seller wrote 83 gs750 on them. I'm unsure about which systems. And if that's the case I'll put them on

        Yes, they will work. Just make sure you wire them correctly.

          I was going to say how would it be possible to miswire then, then realized "never mind"

              Just pulled them completely out. The lines are insanely short. Like holy vow short. Is there a way to make new ones? Is there an instructional anywhere for a young buck like me?

                Positive goes to orange white. The other two match to the coil.
                The one with the shorter spark plug wires is for 2&3.
                He got the coils from me and I sent the better black/gray set from the 83 750.

                  The shorter ones? They seem to be a good three inches shorter for all ends. I'm not saying they're bad chef. I just needed to know more about them, and if the lines can be lengthened. They are short but you gave me a good deal and I want to use them. Nothing towards you at all.

                    One coil has longer spark plug wires. This coil is for the 1&4 cylinders.
                    Did you note where the coils went? Take pictures?
