Ignition leads where to buy cool looking ones ?

[Sexysuzi]

Hi.. Feel like making my bike looking awesome. I have standard ignition leads and caps.

I have seen some amazing Looking leads at classic car shows.

Can we get them for bikes ? GS 550

Just an idea :-)

If you look at where the ign. Lead attaches to the coils, its epoxied in :-(
You may be able to slip some kind of cover over the existing lead, or get new coils with changeable plug wires.

Hopefully someone else out there has a better solution.
Good luck!

Owwwwwwn no ! Can you replace the spark plug caps ???

They can be dug out and replaced.

Mum might give it a go. Where can I buy good looking spark plug caps????

The proper way to do it would be to replace the coils with a set of Dyna coils. Then you can use any type of wires you want

Dyno coils ? Tell me more ??

Do a search on here as this topic is covered quite often.

Dyno Coils are costly unless ya find a deal someplace.The old wires can be removed from the OEM coils without much work but ya have to be careful not to damage the little prongs inside the coils. The coils should also be removed from the bike to do it.A search might turn up some pics of the procedure.I've often thought about some yellow/red wires for my 850 but haven't really looked for wire in bulk. I did however change em a while back with some cheapy black plug wires I bought at Auto Zone. Works just fine.
Edit, please excuse my "run together" typing, something is up with my computer.

I have ACCEL coils and wires...

...but the PO did a sloppy job (like everything he did on this bike). The outer two cylinders have straight caps, which make the leads stick out too far. It's been a long time since I made ignition leads, and I'd really like to put 135 degree boots on. Is there a resistor in the cap, and is it just a twist off the straight ones and twist the 135 degree on?

Heat shrink tubing on the wires will make them any color you want.

Great idea!
Only thing, I have never seen heat shrink tubing in any color other than black.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?

Try an electronics supply house?
