Go to www.650central.com. There is a phone number on the front page. His hours are PDT. Michael Morse should pick up. Tell him what you want. Likely, he’ll pack it up and ship to you.

God help those that help themselves seems apt here. OK, lets leave religion out of it and just say that help comes to those that help themselves. One of those life lessons that I am glad to have been able to impart on my young'uns.Well why didn't you say so before? I mean... 3 kids. Damn, you must be the only guy in the world who had to raise 3 kids. Kinda puts my.... um, 3 kids to shame.... no wait....
A bit of advice. Get over yourself.
Oh... and fuck off.
Entitlement seems to be an epidemic.

Update for those silent searchers for Spark Plug Wires for your XS650:
Below are the links for everything you need to make new spark plug wires for either your points ignition or in my case an electronic ignition. HT copper core wire is a time tested solution that will work for both although it is recommended not to be used by Pazon, Boyer, etc. and most retail companies due to the RF noise it puts out that may affect your other digital gadgets (lowbrow customs). The recommended EI wire of choice with much debate is a suppression core wire. In my case, a totally self customized barebones brat style, kick only bike, of which I welded a new slimmed down electronics box running only a modified LED Marchal headlamp off a 4-cell Antigravity Lith battery, the suppression core wire is no doubt unnecessary and may delete performance due to its higher resistance. But, I have decided to break my budget and do a little experiment to determine which wire settles my original question for all times sake (for me anyway). The best experiment results will be from a dyno test but with my limited free time as of now a more direct response is necessary.
My 4 year old son (middle of my 3 sons) helped me repair the original wire by re-crimping the coil side terminal with a set of standard pliers. So, no special crimpers needed although I’m sure they are nice to have. The other side (90 terminal) wire was cut clean, stripped back about 1/8” and fanned down in a star pattern, then simply pushed down onto the NGK terminal and twisted clockwise 3 full turns. This got me back on the road until my new parts come in.
