2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R stick coils fitted to my ZZR1200, US $53.77 with postage, delivered to Oz.
With Cory's harness (ZRXOA), all works well.
Some pics can be found here.

Re: Stick Coils
Interesting stuff.
I like the idea of stick coils on the GPX. I would have assumed that factory stick-coiled bikes would run a crank angle sensor and fire the coils sequentially instead of a much simpler waste spark system firing the stick coils in pairs.
My other concern would be the current draw from a pair of stick coils compared to a stock single coil. Any increase in peak or average current draw could have an impact on the life of the igniter box.

Re: Stick Coils
People have been running these in their ZRXs for years without any problems.
I believe that the resistance values of 2 stick coils equal that of 1 conventional coil, so current draw shouldn't be any greater.

Re: Stick Coils
What plug gap are you using with the stick coils?
