KR1B coil information needed

I'm trying to source a compatible coil for my project.
Could anyone tell me what their resistance is across the primary and seconday windings?
I find the ones in the service manual a bit odd.
If someone could tell me what is stamped/molded on their coil as far a part number or identifying features I might could find an equivalent.

Coil details here

Also KR Kive at top of the page has lots of links to resources, that may answer your questions.
Im sure Martin (on here) sourced a uk equivalent coil. I bought a second hand one off the bay , it was worse than my original!!

I certainly looked at the service manual ( would be rude to ask if I hadn't )
What's throwing me off is the spec for .28 - .38 ohms on the primary.
Now granted its CDI triggered........
I'm wondering if Kawasaki had a special coil or if it was a vendor item from say... TEk, denso etc
Hence the stamped or moulded in part numbers/markings on the coil itself

just had a look on wemoto website [the coil you want is on page 3 of the ignition coil section, 2nd from the bottom][its the twin lead 90mm hole spacing one] its £39.50[I know its the exact one,as that's whats fitted to my bike]
I see you are in Australia, so if you wanted to sort something with me [bank transfer or similar] I can order it and post it on for you
I don't mind helping out

Thanks for the offer and the link Martin.
I have a feeling I can source one locally given the correct marking information.
Here's an example of a 3 ohm primary coil of TEK manufacture.......
Does anyone know what the KR1B coil has moulded into it?

Just seen this Martin. I exchanged emails with Andy (at Wemoto) about it recently and he thought it was for a h***a vfr and couldn't quote the specification. However if that's the one you use that's good and I can go ahead and get one for my KR1-S. You may be able to answer this for me - do the various model types of CDI only differ in respect of mounting holes/lugs etc but internally are all the same or are they 'matched' (in some way) to the CDI?
