There are two ways to re-use yours.
(1) use the NGK screw in straight connector after cutting the leads short. This works but not if its 'issing down!
(2) cut away the coil surround at the ht lead and re-solder new ones in then repair case with epoxy.

You can fit the DOHC coils that have replaceable leads BUT these are a lower Ohm rating for the electronic ignition and as such draw more current so that your charging circuit needs to be top notch plus you need to keep the motor over 3,000 rpm to charge

Having done a small amount of resurch for you i have discovered the following

The front sprocket retaining plate is the same as 450 twin, 500/550 four and early 750 four so a sprocket for those will fit CAREFULL as these use 530 chain.

The rear sprocket carrier is the same as the 750 K7/8 These used a 630 chain but i know sprockets are made for 530.

You can therefore get sprockets that will fit but probably not in 15/42 teeth ratio and in 530 not 630 chain. If you use a high strength "O" ring chain this should not be a problem

Caliper and bracket are 750, gap is way too big i suspect a 500 disc, or more likely a complete front wheel due to accident. what are the markings on the rim and check against a known 750 one as the 500 is narrower

Jonny this was a long time ago and we didnt have a cleaner, we sent them out to an engineering firm that had one.

Alternatively strip absolutely everything out (ESPECIALY Rubber bits) and submerg the bodies in closed tins of cellulose thinners NOT GUNWASH. i dis this with 500 bodies and left them in the bed of the pickup for a week whilst i drove round----came out like new

As far as i know 750 had the same diameter 69 to 76. the 500/550 was smaller has somebody fitted one of those front ends as the tubes are the same diameter? Pics might help

the 2 bikes that gave mechanics nightmare with carbs were the Suzuki GS and the Honda CB250/400N(or T). We used to strip down and send for ultrasonic cleaning with the proviso to the owner that we only stripped down 3 times and if it still didnt run right it was up to them to get replacement carbs.

It seems that crud sets like concrete in the jetways
