    caps

    You should be fine running non-resistor (car type) caps. If you have a faring with a radio, you can run resistor plugs if you want. I run Accel coils with non-resistor caps and non-resistor plugs (no radio). Mike's XS coils are good ones. You can bypass your ballast resistor with the mikes xs coils. HTH

      thanks i just thought if there's less screw type joins the better the connection less chance of spark reduction

        When you get your coils ...

        You're gonna' want new wires. Z1 Enterprises sells a set of 7mm solid copper wires that already have ends on 'em that are fine for less than 20 bucks. Just leave the screw tips ON the plugs.
