The reproduction stock coils will work as they are 4 ohms.
The Dyna coils that they would recommend for your swap are 3 ohms

I know that doesn't really answer your question

If the stock coils resistance is within spec then there is no reason to change them

Coils for Dyna 'S' should be between 3 and 5 ohms ( 5 for road use and 3 for race but most people just fit 3 ohms) so stock Kaw are fine.
However using matching Dyna coils will get the best out of the system as they produce a much stronger spark ( 35000 volts ) compared to stock which results in a fuller burn and more power especially at higher rpms.

If the ignition is on and motor is not rotating the ignition coils are switched off.
This overloading the ignition coils and accidental discharge of the battery can be prevented.
No Blackbox original appearance is maintained.
Adjustable without strobo light.

Your stock coils will work but if you want to change to a complete Dyna system you will need the green coils and a Dyna DS2-1 ignition.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
