Thanks Jim, bought the Trispark unit from CNW. Great experience. Immediate shipping. No need for support because the instructions were clear and the product is so well designed. Cake.

Yeah, It's hard to beat Matt for a no BS buying experience. Now if I could talk him into taking a few days off for a Norton ride..... Jim

Did 6 volt coils come on my bike? How can I tell, how do I know definitively?

Yes, they would normally be 6V 1971-on.

To check, look at the base of the coil, if they are Lucas then they should be stamped "17M6".

12V Lucas coils are stamped "17M12".

Yeah, thanks for the further reassurance, now that you quote the stamping "17M6" that's what I remember seeing on them and hoping/assuming that the 6 meant 6 volt
