    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    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.

Cheapest place to get Dyna Coils and wires???

Don't think they will do anything unless your stock coils/wires are bad.
 
I was waiting from a response from you Nes :)

I guess when I get back to Md I will test the stock ones (once I find them again). :)

Thank you.
 
The only bonus to aftermarket coils if your stock ignition is still good is the ability to change plug wires completely. Other than that, unless your dealing with a hotted motor and want control of advance with a Dyna2000 set up or something, Nes is absolutely correct. Save your bucks.
 
Very high RPM the Dyna coils might make a differenec, rare that you'd notice it over a good stock setup though....
 
i thought dyna coils give a stronger spark over the factory coils
 
Blah blah... a coil is a coil. What does that stronger spark do for you? If it's big enough to light the fuel etc.... it's very much a law of diminishing returns with coils.

You can get by far the biggest spark by running low ohm coils... try running 1 ohm coils with points... it'll be great whilst the points last! If they work & the wires are good don't worry about it. If they don't, Dyna's or Accel's are as good as anyones...

The cheapest place to buy them is Z1 enterprises.

i though a strong spark ensures that the mixture gets ignited at the right time and promotes complete burning whereas a weak spark may still ignite the mixture but a little later and leads to less-complete burning

This is true Psy, but in a stock motor, you're likely never going to notice. As I said above, if you were dealing with a hotted up motor, bore kit or what have you, you may be more concerned about it. But for normal riding situations, given an already good ignition system otherwise, you'd likely never tell the difference.
 
With after market coils you are able to open the spark plug gap up and still have a hot strong spark and get results like what you have all said which is have a more complete burning of the air/fuel. You may see some improvement with fuel economy and it should idle smoother too..
