    Spark Plug Wires and Boots

    Sorry if this has been asked before I tried to search and couldn't find anything. It's time to change out my spark plug wires and boots. When I bought the bike the boots on the inside cylinders were longer then the ones on the outside. I have replaced them once before and the new set were all long. They worked and still work but I like them the other way but I can't figure out where to order them online?

    EDIT: I found another thread with the link to Base Cliff's page on the boots the problem is that it seems the VB05F Spark Plug Cap - VB05F is no longer available anywhere? so I guess it's long or nothing?

    Check eBay for NGK caps. There is still stock available last time I looked (which was recently, for someone else asking this same question.)

        They've been out of stock for ages.

          Still available, all over ebay. When these are no longer available... Are there other good options?

            When the last of the resistor caps disappear, simply use non-resist caps and a resistor plug.
