    This is for stock replacements. You don't want to go over 5K ohms, you can go less but that can cause electrical interference with other devices (like phones, GPS, radios, etc) so keep that in mind. All four should be the same value.
    Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

      I believe if the first option is no go(store doesn't carry those) you can buy non-resistor caps, and resistor spark plugs...the only reason for additional resistance is controlling radio frequency interference....

        I got 4 NGK 5k ohm caps for $18 and change (discounted 'cause I'm a geezer). Just waiting on coils now.

          Good price if ya' got them local at MotorcycleAccessories! Steve musta' been in a good mood.
