Spark plug wire test...

The spark plug wires that came on my bike don't seem to be the originals. But, since I'll be doing the coil mod and wires are fairly inexpensive I thought about getting another set. But first, is there a way (resistance check) to check these wires to see if they are working properly? If I place the two ohm meter leads on either end of the plug wire and read 0 ohms then are these wires work correctly. Is this a reliable test? There are no cracks or burn marks, they look great.

Should be pretty reliable. That's how I've always checked them. Won't tell you if there is a split somewhere that allows the spark to ground out of course, but it will tell you that you have a good connection from one end to the other.
