They're completely custom made, no kit is available. I do know he bought all the parts from summit and he is running 3ohm coils. Nice catch on the wires too, not many people notice them.

i love your strutted swingarm. amazing. i was thinking a mono shock swingarm, but then decided against it for the lack of welding and fabricating experience. but you just gave me a newfound look at the swingarm situation. I'M DOING IT!!!!

Thanks Andy, The 10.4 wires must be the same as the kits for the V-8 engines. I bought a set for my SBC in my truck a while back (have not installed them yet,no time) but they are a wicked looking product. I might be better off ordering another set for a V-8 and cutting them to fit the KZ, this way I can get 2 sets of plug wires for both my KZ1000'. Just have to check the boot angle on the kit to see what fits best, I can't recall what I paid for them but I remember getting a good price when I bought them.
Thanks, Doug

I got wires from Summit. You have to buy 2 sets, boot angles are different. I can look up part #'s if you need them. Thanks again for all the compliments.
