Looking to switch out my yellow spark plug wires on my '78 XS650 Special. A few questions that I'm looking for clarification on:
1. Can anyone point me in the direction of the right NGK boots and a set of black wires appropriate for my bike? Running NGK BP7ES plugs and the coil as pictured below.
2. The wires are replaceable on this coil, right?
3. What is the connection like between the end of the wire and the coil?...what's inside that screwed on collar?
4. How does the boot attach to the wire?
I'm sure this is basic stuff...but I've never replaced spark plug wires on a bike before. Tools required, tips and tricks all appreciated before I purchase wires and boots, pull the tank and get in there.
