On that thread I mentioned, the reading was 0.3 - 0.5 ohm. That's little spread. You were just saying replace never mentioned how easy or how to check. Do you even have a meter?
And by the way, who were you telling that too. Remember, type a few line and direct it the those asking questions.

I make my money with meter. Using one pretty much every day.. That is how I knew my coil ohmed good, but turned out to be bad.

I remember checking/inspecting the coil when I rebuilt the motor a couple years ago. Ohms were in spec and no signs of heat (discoloration). My gut tells me to get another coil as backup. I think I developed a lack of trust in coils back when I was younger, riding pieced together Yamahas and Suzuki dirt bikes/enduros. Do we still call them 'enduros'?
I'm on the Key Peninsula. The last few years I've been trying (dreaming) of taking my fathers ashes to Flathead Lake Montana, then down to Yellowstone thru the North entrance. Leave Yellowstone out the West entrance after doing the "S" route. Heading back home around the scenic route of Mt. Rainier. Spreading his ashes along the way. He really lived for hunting and fishing. I think it was a little over 2,000 miles round trip.
Yankee Dog, good point, my ignition was replaced with Dyna 2000i when I rebuilt the motor about 7k miles ago.
Dyna 2000i is a great single-fire set up from what I've read/seen. With only 7K miles, I don't think you have anything to worry, even with 70K miles. It's electronics, so they could go out anytime. If I really wanted insurance, I would buy a single-fire coil (J&P has the $50) for a spare. I still run the stock ignition on my bike, so I carry a complete ignition system on long travels (coil, pick-up sensor plate, and module). Coil and module can be found at swapmeets, and I would just buy an new sensor plate. All not much for the peace of mind. I hope you make that ride. It would be special.
