Does anyone know if the OME 881s have specific sides? Similar to the rears? If so, do they have colors on them and which goes where?

 

The rears are "A" or "B". The Longer coil goes on the driver side. I'm not sure if the front have one that is longer, if so, it goes on the driver side to make up for the weight of the gastank and the driver.

 

I just did the 881 and 890 lift. The 890's were pretty obvious - longer coil on the gastank side. The 881's were pretty much identical, I went ahead and put them on a flat table and then took a level to see which one was higher. One of the coils was higher by about 1/32", which could have just been caused by the tiny burr where the coil was cut. Anyhow, I put the longer coil on the drivers side.

Also, I justified in my mind that it went on the drivers side because the 890 coil labeled "A" was on the drivers side, so the 881 labeled "001" should go on the drivers side. 890 "B" and 881 "002" should go on the passenger side.
A->B
001->002
makes sense to me =)

 

The answer to the original question is no, they don't.
