Stick Coil conversion
1987 CBR600 coil conversion.
Just looking for confirmation that these will work for the bike.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/04-Honda-CBR1000RR-CBR-1000-RR-Ignition-Coils-w-Harness-/271084472318?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits =Year%3A2004|Make%3AHonda|Submodel%3A1000RR|Model% 3ACBR&hash=item3f1de4c7fe&vxp=mtr
Also, if these will work, once i receive them i will remove the plug wires and coils. Once the coils are removed than i take the wires that were for the coils and connect them to the harness. That is what i get from the following picture from another post.

Any help would be appreciated guys, Thanks

FYI, that is called a COP system(coil on plug).
To correctly wire them in you need to make sure the impedance is the same for the stock ones and the new ones, either in series, or parallel. Then you have to wire them to batch fire. The way the plugs work right now is batch fire. So both plugs connected to the same coil fire every time together. The one in the active cylinder causes the ignition to work as normal. The other one is called a wasted spark as it does not ignite any thing and is "wasted".
Series will have the same current to each one, but half the voltage. Parallel will have the same voltage to each one, but half the current. Parallel is usually the way you want to go. However, if the impedance is too low you can burn out your CDI box. Hence why you need to check them with multimeter.
The picture you drew shows them in series.

I appreciate the response, I didnt draw that picture i actually found it on another post and jsut linked to it. The guy i linked to it from had/has an 87 cbr1000 and thats how he wired it up with no problems with it im assuming otherwise he wouldnt have posted it. I actually ended up going with coil plugs from an 01-04 cbr600 so i had some shorter and tighter fitting ones than from a 1000.
Anymore advice/tips would be helpful thanks.

Got in some 01 cbr600 coils and harness. Wired in like the diagram in original post and runs just fine. When it starts. I either have a short in my electrical causing battery drainage when it sits or my stator or rectifier are bad. I am led to believe it is either my rectifier or stator due to the fact that the previous owner eliminated the plugs on both and just soldered them together liek the plugs had melted or something.. gonna troubleshoot tomorrow and let yall know
