cracked one of my coils

[redkatana]

so my spacers that go between the frame and the coils were too small and didn't do their job. SO when i was tightening them down i cracked the casing of the coil. I ordered new coils which were almost $140 , hopefully once i get the new coils in the bike will run. It is depressing because it is now in the 60's and i can't ride..

bummer
was that aftermarket coils?

none of my business really, but why not buy them used from ebay? they are cheap. you could have save $100.

well, start

[BarMatt80]

was something between the coils and the frame at the time of you tightening them down? because they need to be tight. or did you make your own spacers?

[Mojoe]

nope oem

next time you have to ask some info before buying like that. you could have gotten a new set of dyna hi performance coils for the same price.

It's a good idea to ask a few Q's before spending your money. There are a lot of knowledgable members here. It's a win win. You save some money and you pick up a bit of knowledge yourself.

I just got a set of 3ohm dual got put Dyna coils. I paid like $150 but that was WITH IL state tax. But with Dyna coils you gotta spend another $30 for wires. Seriously though I'd have to say 35,000+ voltage out put is worth it.

yeah like i said there were spacers but they are not long enough so the ends of the coils bent

i don't make a lot of money so the difference between $137 and $180 is quite significant...i was going to ask about aftermarket coils but i just wanted to get my bike running

[arsenic]

you don't make a lot of money eh? I get $757 a month in disability and about $1000 a month off my parts sales, I have them, I mean I can understand it being a hard ship, but come on, it isn't impossible.

the stock coils work just fine. plus buying new gives you little more guarantee they won't fail when it is most important. yeah they are just like everything else out there, massed produces so yeah you always run the risk of a bum coil even new.

I just asked about the spacers, because stock they *should allow you to tighten them down sufficient without cracking.

you would think so.
