you usually have to buy ht lead wire and the ends on your old leads screw off then onto the new length of wire, or it'd be a great time to fit stick coils and do away with ht leads completely

Hmm I will probably go for the coil stick mod if a well priced loom and set of coils come up.

That's friggin cheap for that set-up , would need to pay almost that just for the used loom ! Same as I have in my H2

You do get Sunfire leads & caps which also have bonded earth straps on them - got a set in a box somewhere and as said you can just replace the standard HT with any modern kit you can find, copper or silicone core, car or bike - 7mm is ideal but you can squeeze 8mm in but the sealing gromits on the coils wont fit.

Haven't done many miles with mine and it's got to be over 18months since doing and no problems or regrets :smt001

Got a set of sticks on the shelf for one of the next builds - just need to source the loom bit.

Some big variations in price there! Engine won't be going back in for a few months as it need a jolly good clean and paint. Cheers for the help.

i did have to dig around to find them at that price, i think i paid about £50 for mine, with the exception of my fireblade calipers there probably the best upgrade ive done they've helped make the bike alot more rideable at low revs (below 6k)
