+1 for Z1 !  Picked up a set of DYNA coils and solid copper wires from them.  Good deal.

What coils and wires would you guys recomend to use.  I don't really know much about these bikes yet.  I am trying to learn as I go along.  Thank you all for your help.

If you don't want either new or used stock coils, then be sure to get coils that have 5 ohm primaries.  You charging system isn't very high powered on a good day.  Adding more electrical load from super coils won't help the bike run for long.

Yeah, 5-ohm coils should be close to stock for the 500.  I'm really happy with the DYNA wires I got from them.
