VtwinStorm Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Does anyone have a source? Other than MG Cycle, I can't seem to find them anywhere. No one seems to have the caps. Gotta get the red set...too sexy. Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomchri Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Just Google NGK spark plug wires. I use them on my bike. Cheers Tom Sent fra min SM-A525F via Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The early Sport used Champion resistor caps. Later V11 were NGK. I have gotten the red Champions from a scooter supplier in the UK (Champion is UK, as in Albert Champion or "AC", as in AC/Delco) . . . Let me find contact info . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm not finding that source in the UK, but web search "Champion PRO5U" and you'll have multiple sources . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... while I'm greasing the u joints, might as well replace the entire clutch assembly. Just a simple 8 hour (?) job... Anyone have the OEM or Champion part number for the OEM red spark plug wires? I already found the caps and ordered them. Grazie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Epic thread drift. I promise to report myself to myself. No, really, the front UNI is >approachable< on an early RedFrame. It is. It is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, what are the OEM early RedFrame red spark plug wires? I don't think these are Champion. I am also looking to replace mine. They are quite long, actually . . . They appear to measure 7mm (7.5mm?) outside diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What is wrong with this 7.5 mm solution at $1.99US/foot? https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/standard-ignition/performance/ignition/spark-plug-wire---bulk/283f648a25cc/standard-ignition-7-5mm-100-foot-primary-ignition-wire/std0/cc75c?pos=4 [edit: okay, shipped to me (in the USA) with taxes, five feet of this wire is $22.68US. Four feet is probably enough, but I hate to come up short. Coil end connectors must be added, but these should "screw" into the spark plug 90º angle connectors.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 There is this: https://www.harpermoto.com/spark-plug-wire-01718330.html Whether this is actually available? Call Curtis on the phone and ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
