    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.

Just some info on Dyna blue coils I have installed on my GS750 frame.
I used some 90? shelf brackets. x4 (Ace hardware)
M6-25mm coupling nuts. x2
M6-30mm bolts
M6 lock washers
Upper mounting bolts/nylocs/washers of your choice.

Like this - 30mm bolt through the coil, 90? bracket, lock washer, coupling nut for each coil monting bolt.

Now it looks like one of the offshore fishing boats... with the x4 outboards waiting to burn 100 gallons an hour LOL

45bpcr - I purchased some bulk spark plug wire on Ebay and then a 90? boot kit - this can be found at a local auto parts store - MSD made the kit I purchased.
 
Talked to the wife today.
She told me a couple of packages showed up at the house.
Being the smart woman she is, she said one felt like "wire".
I'll head in-land nest week and put it all together.

I ordered solid copper wire so I could still use the new NGK resistor caps that took me forever to find for a reasonable price.

Thanks for cluing me in about those coils.
 
I finally got the time to install the Dyna coils last weekend.
It required longer bolts and I had to shorten the stock spacers by about 3/16ths of an inch (or 5mm) for you Euro guys.
The coils came with straight and 90? boots and the proper connectors.
The stock Suzuki primary wires plugged right in.
I made up some plug wires using 7mm bulk copper wire.
I didn't bother with number rings, I might be old but I can still remember 4.

These coils will throw a hot thick blue spark for about 3/8ths of an inch ( about 10mm) for you Euro guys.
The bike starts instantly and runs much - happier?

Thanks unfocused
