[HT lead replacement for V11 Sport 2004]

Then maybe one or the other of these. Looks like the same thing to me, just red or black. The inscript "5K Ohm" is visible on the picture of the black one.

Edit: a closer look reveals that Mike apparently perpetrated a typo in the listing. The red one is listed as "LB05F-R", and the black one as "LB05E". In the text body, however, they are referred to as "LB05F-R" and "LB05F" respectively.

A look at what appears to be the NGK site turns up these, which are apparently the items in question, and both are 5K Ohm caps. As already mentioned, seemingly the same, except for the colour.

Thanks for all the excellent advice. Quite relieved to find out there is so much expertise and help still out there for the venerable V11. Getting a RE Himalayan 450 to complement the V11 but it will still be my daily ride and Black Forest tourer. 

Mine look exactly like the red one's, but I think my leads are integrated into the caps which might have to be cut off? could be just the accumulation of dirt etc after 20 years of the MG living outside on the street.

Dear V11'ers. Long time no posting, but still riding my beloved V11 Sport Ballabio here near the Black Forest in SW Germany. I changed the plugs and the left cylinder HT lead cap fits on the little screw on spark plug nipple, but the right lead only fitted if the small nipple was unscrewed from teh new plug - directly onto the threaded plug end.

The right lead is now too loose for safety. I guess the leads should be replaced as a pair? anyone know a part no or recommended brand? what is the connector on the other end? Is this an easy job if I lift the fuel tank or best left to the dealer?

thanks for any help/advice; keep the rubber side down.
