Ive looked on david silvers site and he only sells left handed ones, is there actually any difference? i presume i could get away with 2 the same id just have the HT leads at a different angle to normal?

im replacing the points and condensors, plugs etc as the sparks a little on the weak side, some new ignition coils wouldnt go a miss its just he only sells LH-ones (which i presume is the left of the two on the frame...

i bought my dyna s ignition from cyclepartsguy on ebay... probably get the dyna coils there too...  if you're not opposed to aftermarket.
cheapest i found at the time... but, you know ebay.
he was willing to help out on the warranty if i had issues because i wasn't installing it until the warranty ran out.   oops, i think he may have wanted me to keep that a secret.

the seller you mentioned hasnt got any for sale on ebay but i found some via google, seemed to be about £90, two that david silver are selling would be £50,
and ive seen these

but it doesnt say that theyre handed.

they're really the same part... just have to understand your wiring.
(make sure the right coil is going to the right 2 plugs)

They are "handed" because Honda supplies them with number tags on the leads.  Also, the 1-4 coil likely has some longer leads than the 2-3 coil.  I don't recall which one is right or left on the bike.  The coils themselves are identical, otherwise.
