Are these the coils you bought ?
Interested to see how they work for you if so.

Yes, it's those coils.

To begin with, I have been able to remove the stone resistor and the spark is good as long as the CDI does not heat up.

I'm running the same coils. And I think I fried my ignitor. Checked pick up coil resistance, all 3 check SAT. Did the FSM test which tests coils by eliminating the pickup coils and spark is weak, if at all. I measured all 3 of my new coils, they were right at 3.4 ohms. After coil install, spark was good and healthy, according to my notes.. Now I wish I had taken a video. Or not started this swap out to 'improve ignition health' at all. 

This is the email I received from SpareParts:

Hi there,

Any CDI suitable for the bike would be suitable with the coils. 

Please ensure you have bypassed the ballast resistor as well as its no longer required with these coils.

Kind regards,
Lewys

But... if I'm honest...

Although I was able to start the bike and take a kind of ride before I ended up more stranded than a cigarette butt in the gutter...

I was never able to verify exactly how the motorcycle worked both mechanically and electrically.

Now after spending much more money than time changing internal engine and electrical parts, I am waiting to receive the CDI to assemble the bike and start the engine once and for all to do the dynamic test.

When you get it sparking again, could I ask a favor? Take a video of the plugs sparking so I can compare what I have to yours?

I say this to my beloved Christine.
I don't think she cares since I've even posted nude photos of her on this forum and on Facebook.

Oh Thank Goodness. Now I don't feel so guilty!  

After spending my time blowing and sucking on the gas evacuation tube of the fuel tank to try to unclog it and with the result of severe pain in my cheeks.

I discovered to my surprise that the outlet of the tube is blocked by the flat base of the filler cap.

 

An OEM plug with its gas evacuation system is around 200 euros, an aftermarket plug, which is the one I have installed, costs 15 euros, but in an act of extreme generosity they give you a copy of the key.

My question is:

Is there any possibility of mounting a gas vaporization system without having the OEM cap?
