Dyna plug wire-what about old plug caps?

[DPage]

I'm currently installing Dyna coils and plug wires on my '82 850G, and have a question about the Dyna wires (part # DW200) that were ordered with the coils. It's 7mm ULTRA HIGH-TEMP SILICONE COPPER CORE non-suppression wire.

These wires come with regular spark plug leads, and they fit if you screw on a "bullet" to the regular spark plug tip. However, I've read these particular Dyna wires need resistors like the spark plug caps that are on my bike already, NGK caps XB05F and VB05F. So to make these new wires work, it looks like I should cut off the brand new plug connector and install my old XB05F and VB05F caps. Does that sound right?

Also, what about the other end that fits into the new coils? I know how to cut back the wire and make a connection, but what do I plug into the bottom of the slanted base? The connections which Dyna supplies could be bent into a circle with pliers, but that looks kind of clunky. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but are there better parts to make this connection into the coil base?

That's why you order the Dyna suppression wire. I suppose you could order new caps and cut the plug boots off but I would return them and get the Dyna 8MM suppression wire unless grey isn't in your color scheme. I suppose some racing applications might need the copper wire, but you have the wrong bike for that. It's a smooth mile eater. There is nothing wrong with suppression wire.
