www.dynaonline.com will list replacement coils for your bike, probably the green 3 ohm ones will do.

Dyna 3 ohm coils are correct. Z1Enterprises.com sells them for less than Dyna does directly. Also get some new Dyna plug wires as the old wires won't come off your old coils.

Not sure about the Z1, but I bought the green coils, and Dyna plug wires for my 650 and the plug wires were long enough to do TWO bikes! So now I have a spare set!

Oh - you have to get separate plug-caps to do this - I bought the NGK ones - looks very spiffy with new leads and caps!

AND - Z1 is definitely the place to get all this stuff!

The OEM coils don't have screw on keepers for the wires where they enter coils or rubber caps where the coil wires enter the coils since the OEM coil wires are molded into the coils. I don't know where you could buy these rubber caps and save them from old coils that use them. No point buying wire and NGK plug caps if you can find any of the coil side caps. The Dyna wires have both ends included with the wires and that is why I suggested them. I prefer NGK plug caps but just can't find a source for the rubber caps that go on the coil side.

I got my coil side caps from my mechanic. He saves old car wires and the ones that go on the distributor ends work fine. At least they did for me. ;)
