This covers the basics of what I did. http://chinariders.net/showpost.php?...3&postcount=51

And how it actually looks installed. http://chinariders.net/showpost.php?...4&postcount=52

This actually allowed me to take off a good 6 inches of plug wire.

As far as the coil side, there are a lot of options. I do know that most of the "performance cdi" coils sold for these bikes tend to actually be weaker than the coils these bikes come with, at least from testing I have seen.

If I were going to upgrade coils (I plan to soon), I would likely do an IGN-1CD coil. They are usually around 40-50 bucks, and include a secondary ground wire that you connect to the cylinder head to help isolatethe primary side of the circuit. DIYAutotune actually carries these. https://www.diyautotune.com/product/...ischarge-coil/

As far as plug wire goes, take your pick of any 7 or 8mm plug wire should work fine. You can buy it in bulk and add whatever boots/ends needed.
When you look at the picture of it installed on the bike, note how it all is now out in the airstream. Taking out the resistor is a good idea as well....ARH
