Default Replacement coil recommendations
Went for a two day 200 mile ride last weekend. I had a plug wire fail on day two.

I ordered new Accel wires. I was thinking of replacing the coil. It has the original coil on the bike.

I have a generic electronic ignition. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Some aftermarket electronics like Dyna S and several others use 5 ohm coils, need to know what's there before busting out the credit card.

Check out the Ultima electronic ignition kit. Not just the module but the kit. It contains everything you need. It has been very popular with IronHead owners for many years now...
