FINALLY got the old chugger running enough to pull the pics out:



Here you can see the assembly, the tip rubber seems to still be in place here but it has to be removed before putting them in.



The full set about to ship. I left the leads too long so I wouldn`t cut them too short. I tested one on my f2, where that red one is from and the set went onto a 1Kf `Cane so I assume they use the same wires.

They aint too pretty, but they`ll sure sit in there tighter than the original ones instead of covering the hole in the head, they fill them right up!

i got the one u sent and thank you again. But since the end was missing I started to look around for parts and alternatives. I found that NGK has a set #8144 but i cant find them anywhere, so I have a friend that says his cousin makes performance wires so im getting a quote on them, also ron ayers will sell the factory ones all 4 for about $110 and that is half the price as Honda. so it looks like im going to still be paying out the rear for a set but what else can u do?

I might of found a solution. i was furiously searching the internet and found some NGK wires#8144 that looked correct, but was told by NGK that they arent allowed to sell these in the USA. so I started to look some more and found some Xact plug wires from Advanced Auto part #4532 for only $30. so I orderd them today and when I get them in and on I will let you guys all know how they work. Sorry I just cant see paying $240 for 4 plug wires.

@edwardzx7 I finaly got a chance to work on the bike somemore today and I noticed that the wire u sent me would work so I put it on and it works great. It is snowing here today so I can now say I have rode a sport bike in the snow. It was stressful and fun knowing that the bike was running great and I didnt want to stop but it was just too cold. I realy appreciate the wire and once again thank you!
