Has anyone heard of doing the C.O.P. conversion on the 3G Magnas?  This is a popular upgrade to the VFR's and I thought I ran across someone that has done it here, but the search function yielded nothing of use.  From what I've found, you can buy a set of used Suzuki coils and wire each pair in series so that you get a final reading of around 3 Ohms, which is close to what our factory coils are.  I'm not sure if it really provides much more than aesthetic pleasure and maybe a little more voltage to the plug.  I would do the conversion but I'm a little concerned about frying the ignition control module  :shock:

Yeah, I'd be really worried about the module; I'd keep digging until you find someone else that was a Ginnie Pig and bike donor for a trial run.

Sounds cool, but I don't think it is worth going through the trouble or risk.  Let us know if you find anything.

That Magna is completely insane. I wonder if it has one factory stock part? Possibly the frame?
