NGK B7ES W/ Removable End Cap?

Is there a specific part number to get the B7ES plug with the removable terminal cap? Or, conversly, is there a part number for NGK plug boot for the larger end caps?

I bought a set of NGK for the 650 SR. The plugs in it are without end caps and obvs the spark plug boot fits the smaller end cap.

Doesnt the tip just unscrew? B7es u do
although i use denso equivalent. W22es u as there are far to many fake ngks about to trust online purchases. Also denso plugs are far more tolerant of multiple cleaning.

   We often see Denso (ND) W22ES-U and W24ES-U plugs languishing in swap meets & parts lots for pennies on the dollar because they're not commonly recognized like NGK's are.  NDs are very good plugs in our experience.  We've had good performance with SplitFire plugs too.  And, don't discount the Champion N3C and N4C plugs; they're perfectly fine.
  The ND, Champion and SplitFire plugs we've used have all had removable terminal caps.

When you use "we" do you mean the rider and passenger in your ID-a-con thing here on the site? Because a nude woman agreeing with me or giving spark plug advice would make all the difference in the world.

slmjim here.

Mmmm... yeah.  She often looks over my shoulder when we're here.  I'm just the hunt n' pekker at the keyboard while 'we' do the KZR forum.

   There's a European story behind the blue '75 Z1 that's our avatar.  A subject for another thread.

  The Lovely Z1BEBE was like a blank slate when we met.  I got to influence (I'm reluctant to say 'corrupt') her exactly the way I wanted when she ventured into my life and shop in the early days.

  She's become outstanding Z-bike resto-hobbyist asset when we haunt swap meets, auctions, shop buyouts, estate sales & such, which is where we find most all of the stuff we need to maintain our Z1's.  She seriously encouraged me to buy a basket case '73 Z1 some years ago to complete our collection when I was hesitant.  She's a great mechanic's helper, spending hours at the wire wheel or vapor blast cabinet and, often comes up with surprisingly-insightful observations & suggestions.  If she suggests something spark plug, I'll listen.  She reads Kevin Cameron.  She'll poke her fingers into all manner of greasy, grimy, sharp-edged places while at the same time sporting Ducati Red (my favorite) nail polish when I need a third hand.

  She supports my tool junkie habit .

   I discovered the hard way I'd created a monster when I taught her how to use a torque wrench.  I learned that if she has a torque wrench in her hand, not to get between her and a fastener needing torqued.

   She's been learning clear-tube-alternative float setting recently when we wrote the articles on finding a safe, less volatile fuel substitute; researching specific gravity of said fluid substitute experiments, and, clear tube substitute vessels for float setting.  She finally hit a wall & her eyes glazed over when it came to specific gravity testing for safe fuel substitutes.  Can't have everything...

   The Lovely Z1BEBE has turned wheel more than 110,000 safe miles piloting her own bikes over the past 35+ yrs. She's a Rider, not just a motorcycle operator.  She turns wrenches.
   Loves me & our dogs. 

   And she cooks.

   So when one reads 'we' here at KZR, it covers both of us.  We come as a set.

   Life is good.  We should all be so fortunate.

Good Ridin'
