This is a thread detailing my installation of Honda CBR MP08 coils in my 83 GL1100 Innerstate.
A side by side shot, stock set on the left, CBR coil on the right:
I'm going to run the CBR coils without a resistor so there's no need to reuse the resistor mount flat bracket, only the 2 heavy aluminum end brackets.
Remove the stock coils from the aluminum mounts and screw on the CBR coils in place.
I had to space the coils out with 2 washers so the primary posts would clear:
The front mount will bolt right on the frame no problem but since the CBR coils are almost 2" shorter I had to make an extension bracket:
And there we have it:
All pretty simple.
I had more trouble getting the old coil mount screws loose than anything.
Soak them and the visible threads for awhile before hand.
I'll post the hookups of primary and plug wires, there are some differences but not any problem.
