I used a Dynatek Dyna S coil listed for a Harley. Two output connections and electrically rated same as OEM. Half the price of OEM and has been working fine for 6 years on my GT500.

I grabbed a bunch of GS500 coils for my GT750 and also use them on single spark Hondas. Not suitable for twin lead replacements though.

Those Dyna S coils probably provide a much better spark. Do they fit the stock GT500 coil bracket?

Which GS500 are the coils for? Do they fit the stock GT750 coil brackets?

My Dyna S is a green colored (I thing the color is important......), no it does not fit stock bracket. Had to zip tie in place. Used a pair of automotive rated, large ties so I would not have to worry about age, heat breakage. I think Dyna has changed the design of their coils, so they might have one that would fit the bracket. Still cheaper than OEM. Mine is still working great!
