Are you certain yours need replacing?

The factory specifies 1.8 to 2.8 Ohms resistance on the primary side. I think most folks go with 3 Ohm coils. If you are using resistor plugs, be sure to NOT use resistor caps or wires. You can run without resistors at all, but you may have some electrical noise in any electrical equipment you might ride with, like a radio, or some such.

Partzilla shows the factory 1 & 4 coil as available. They sell it for $138 plus tax and shipping. I am pretty certain that the two coils are identical, so you should be able to flip that one over to use on the other side. Dynatek makes good coils that will fit, but they are more expensive than the factory one. I think Emgo makes an appropriate one and here are, of course, cheap Chinese coils that may or may not work.
