My
friend has a Legacy with dual Light Speed ignitions. Since he's had them
he's lost both controllers and now it's burning out coils, two in two
weeks.
He wants to replace them all but Klaus gets $85 each for the little
coils.
He's looking to find them local or perhaps use something else.

[I don't know if there's anything
particularly magical about Klaus's twin coil packs, but $85 for something that
weighs only 5 ounces and is designed to go with his system doesn't sound
horribly expensive. You can purchase a twin-tower MSD coil pack that
also puts out 40kv for about $50-55
(http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_9_8224.htm) but I'll bet it's going
to weigh quite a bit more than 5 oz, and you don't know if it's compatible
with Klaus's controllers. You can also check out places that sell
motorcycle coil packs (lots of v-twins out there) but there aren't that many
with that kind of output... maybe Accel or Crane? At any rate, if you
could find out the primary and secondary resistances on his coils it would
make shopping for alternatives a bit easier, as those specifications are
pretty readily available for most of the aftermarket units out there.
