These coils are half the price of the usual suppliers.


I usually work on the basis of buy cheap, buy twice. So before I spend the extra money, has anyone tried the cheap eBay coils?

To be fair they are not that inexpensive older bikes use the round coils which are on Feked lucas old style under £20 Lucas dual outlet under £30  To be fair I am cautious of some items on e-bay ....Recently a bike press paper bought Helmets from E-bay then had them checked and a Shoei lid was actually a fake THAT is really worrying ......There are places I tend to look at for spares Feked is one and the Gutsibits/reboot etc

I bought some cheap coils from ebay but bought the wrong thing - so that was a waste of money.

I ended up buying a secondhand pair of Guzzi coils off ebay.

Thank you both for the replies, I went to Gutsibits for a new coil. I was not convinced that a cheap eBay coil would be a good buy
stuv65 thank you for the link to the S/H item, I decided against them as they will be as old as the duff item I am replacing
