Resistor caps & resistor spark plugs

Platinum, gold or copper.
But in that case Accel silicon cables and terminates fit’s snuggely and are water tight at a fraction of the cost.

You can get NGK non resistor caps, suprisingly cheap.

Even if you go over to Roswell or area 51 and (ask politely) to borrow some alien technology zero resistance superconductor, the foot plus of Copper HT wire before the plug cap will negate any resistance savings.

I have one pair of the only NGK non-resistor caps I could find (see below) coming in the mail tomorrow. They are 90 degree angle, and too short of reach for the center two spark plugs. The one shown in my pic should work very-well with a short piece of metal rod used in place of the resistor.

Thinking along these lines:

...and too short of reach for the center two spark plugs.

Try it, both my 550 and 750 have less head space than your 11 , but they work just fine.

The longer caps (with less angle) are much-easier to access, especially with the gas tank installed on the bike...besides, I already have them and can be easily converted to non-resistor.

In that case the copper rod is your obvious choice!

And that rids you of the loss of efficiency that the cooling of Tyrell’s supra conductor would take of your poor inline four. :lol:

Any dirt bike shop will have them.

Most bike shops carry NGK plug caps.

Thanks Steve. The only non-resistor NGK caps I could find were those I ordered off ebay, which will work great for #'s 1 & 4.

That's why I said dirt bikes. They don't give a rat's a** if they bother Wilbur's radio reception. :lol:
