Honda Shadow VT500c-----ignition coil

[MDTURTLE1976]

Can anyone help me. My hsuband bought a Honda Shadow VT500c and the ignition coil needs replaced. I might be crazy but I have been trying to find this part and cannot. Everytime I look up ignition coil It lists a little coil and cover and it doesn't look like the same part on the bike. Can someone help me.

Please e-mail me at mdturtle1976@aol.com

Thanks
Mandi

Hi Mandi. Your bike has two coils. One for the front cylinder and one for the rear (they are identical). Each coil powers two spark plugs. 1983, 84, and 85 (don't know about 1986) use the same coil assembly for 500 shadows (also 83-84 500 Ascots). They are always available used on EBay. Search under VT500 and VT500C and Shadow 500. You can also find them new at any number of on-line stores. One would be www.dgy.com/default.asp Good luck. Dean Rogers
