I bought an Accel set for an automotive V8 at an Auto Zone. Make sure you get 7mm wire with an end that has an angle that works. Depending upon the length of the wireset you get, and what ends are on them , you may be able to make 4 sets of wires from one V8 set.

Your bike should have resistor wire. Without it digital meters might not work properly.
