Whilst messing around with the timing (following Bill's excellent online guide), I've become a little concerned with the spark produced by my coils/plugs.

I expect what is commonly referred to as a "FAT" spark but only see a straggly, thin spark. The sparks are consistent (and blue), but appear a bit on the "thin" side (to me).

Is there an upgraded set of coils available or will another set fit from another bike (say CB500T)?

Is there a problem with the engine missing under load or lack of power? if not leave all alone If you really need/want more/bigger spark, a few of us have used the coils form ***** XS part number Part #17-6807 with good results http://www.mikesxs.net/products-27.html#products

it does require you to build a small plate to mount them on the OME bracket, but may be just what you are looking for.
This is how i did mine.

That looks pretty cool. Great fabrication work mate!

The site shows a different coil for the part number you quoted. Your coil looks to be the #17-6805.

Yep that's the one

I did the same thing but without the polishing.

But you said to get the 6807 in your post :?
