The stock coils are very reliable. What makes you think they are bad? Typically they last the life of the bike. Refreshing them by replacing the leads with new 7mm copper core ignition wires along with new NGK caps can't hurt though.
Edit: the factory Kawasaki service manual specs 1.8-2.8 ohms primary resistance, and 10-16 k ohms secondary resistance for the coils. The caps are 5k resistance as well.

If your coils are bad, the grey Dyna 2.2 ohm coils are supposed to be the best match for the stock electronic ignition, but you can use the green 3.0 ohm which is what I'm using. You may have to adapt the coil brackets to fit them. usually a couple of L-brackets per side from the hardware store. I made brackets from angled aluminum bar from the home depot. My 81 650 has the same ignition system as most of the 750-4s.
