Coil on plug for 5th gen

Does anyone know if you can use the 6th gen coil on plug leads on a 5th gen and get rid of the coils?
Seems too easy to do, there must be a reason why it hasn't been done by everyone.

 

The 6th Gen units won't work, as they are 3 lead type, where most bikes use 2 lead types. I did my 5th Gen with CBR1000RR 2007 CoP's but you can use most any. The GSXR750 units are a bit shorter than the CBR ones, so may fit even better.
The CoP's fit straight into the plug holes, you may need to modify the top seal to get a snug fit. i just added a couple of O-rings to stabilise the CoP in the hole at the top. If you look for my 10 year refresh threads its covered in there.

 

The advantage of using 6th gen is that they'll fit straight in.
Does anyone have a 6th gen wiring diagram to see what the third cable is for?
Using the coil on plugs will get rid of 4 coils from around frame/air box and clear up some clutter.

 

If I hire a naked maid, I doubt I'd be able to get my leathers done up and ride anywhere.

 

Just found this old thread:

I think this is the way I'll go.
Is Rangerscott still around?
I'd like to hear how it all went and if there was any problems.

 

No, just don't seem to be able to stop fiddling with it.
By the time I finish spending all my money on it & get it just right, I'll probably buy a new one.
Think of all the weight I'll save from getting rid of the old coils & leads, there must easily be 20 grams to be saved. If I only find another 1400 items to do the same with, I'll save a kilo or so.

Strip the engine & the whole bike, replace every structural bolt wit Ti & non structural with Alloy, will save a few kilo's
