They come with wires and can be made to fit in the stock location on a 650 if you file the holes a little bigger on the frame. I think Z1 was selling Emgo coils which look just like the stockers, if I recall. 1981 KZ550 D1 gpz. Kz550 valve train warning. Other links.

I have a set of 84 GPZ coils with the connectors physically on the coil and w/ the replaceable plug wires, no caps, that I pulled when troubleshooting my no start.

They weren't the problem.

$20 sounds right.

84 GPZ750. Modded with stock Kawasaki parts: ZR-7 shock, ZX-6 coils, GPZ1100 throttle, EN454 brake, GPZ900 fuse box, etc. and non stock: Ken Sears mirrors, K&N filter, Pirelli Sport Demons.
