Yep, I believe my old stock coil finally bit the dirt on me. I'm missing on the LH cylinder from idle to approx. 5k, then it picks up and straightens out. I didn't want to do it, I checked all of the usual suspects: plug, pickup coil gap, connectors, etc. I believe all of the Nology crap is a bunch of hype, but it's cheaper than a stock unit. But even on one cylinder, she was still running like a stock bike does

I ordered from here: http://store.newlevelmotorsports.com/nohotwiandig.html

Fairly cheap prices and free ground shipping too

I installed the Nology coil and wires with the irridium plugs. If there was a performance gain,I never noticed it. I got mine from British Customs.

The stock setup is great, that's why I could never justify dropping cash on something that's not broke. But now that it's broke...like I said "it's cheaper than stock."

I bought a Nology coil when the stock one gave up the ghost.
Then I bought performance wires and iridium plugs. The bike ran better but I think it was more about the old plugs being tired than the coils and wires.
In your case with the 1200 I would think the Nology stuff should have some benefit. Like you said, cheaper than OEM, or at least the coil is. NGK wires are cheaper at New Bonneville than the Nology wires.

I was thinking of going back to the NGK's, but nology's advertisement slogan kept coming to mind (creating a spark 300 times more powerful

I suckered myself into them.

I emailed their info address on their (nology) website about the longevity of the in line capacitor on their wires and if it was replaceable. Also if there is a way to test the cap. No response, it's been several weeks.
I bought the "premium nirosta" wires from nb, the NGK's were out of stock at the moment.

From what I understand they have a limited lifetime warranty on the wires. Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps a dealer can chime in. The dealer would be the one to replace the wires, unless they are bought directly from nology.

you know from what i have seen over the years if you got enough spark any more dont help much ,but if you dont have enough it will help big time.I think most systems that come on stuff today is more then you need unless they go bad

Bottle_Fed · 01-30-2008

Mike, I think along the same lines. If the stock system was adaquate enough to keep the spark lit using a 30 shot of nitrous, then it is adaquate enough for anything naturally aspirated. But now that coils are not incapcinated in oil anymore, they run allot hotter, which I think has something to do with the short life span.

It's a little known fact, whispered in small circles, in remote parts of the world - but as part of the extra secret HP that Triumph gives only to the Black Edition Bonneville's - the Nology coil, wires and iridium plugs are pre-installed from the factory but they are painted factory stock colors to help preserve the secret of the true identity! Ask me how I know this?
