    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

'79 GS550E coils

I searched for coils and wasn't able to find what I was looking for, just want to find a reputable site to order new coils (with wires/boots) for this thing. I haven't spent much time with this bike yet and am still trying to figure out where to get parts! Thanks!
 
My go-to preferred coils for the GSs and others are the MT-08 coils found on various Honda models. They're double-ended of course, but also have easily replaceable leads, which enable the easy upgrade to decent quality HT conductors.
A set of them from a six-pot Gold Wing (3 coils) will often sell for $25 ish.
 
I noticed there are a few ohm ratings for various 550 models, is 4 ohm what I want?

I use a pair of those MT-08 coils on my GS1000 79 model there fine and as said plug leads are replaceable.
