Default Plug wires

Honda Shop wants an insane price for them.... Anyone know where to find some cheaper or If a set from a honda car can be made to fit? The cars look to have similar caps, and are 7mm which is better than the F3 5mm....


Or even how to get the stuff to make my own.


I do not want a used set

since I was gave no answer I went today and bought a set for a 92 honda civic and with lil work I made them fit. may not be the best, But its 7mm wires. (stock 5mm) Also only 35 bucks where as honda wanted 180 for them.

main thing I had to change was screw the tops back onto the plugs so they would hook up

Whats the advantage of the 7mm vs 5mm wires? Better spark?

you lose less of your spark threw the wires, as meaning.... It doesn't jump to other metal parts that your wires may touch, more goes to the plug...

i did, but also my old ones where sparking off the block and where no good. I had to wrap them in electrical tape just to get my bike to start. So I can't give you any info if it makes a difference from good stock ones or not. but as a cheap replacement, thumps up!!
