Has anyone used these coils?
beardylondon:
Thanks Ted.
Yes same item, as recommended by you in this thread!
Re: spark plug caps, thanks for advice and are these ones any good?
I haven't got the bike with me at the moment.
Im pretty sure this one is correct for 1 & 4

My 400 came with new looking brown coloured NGK resistor type caps already fitted - they are substantial with the NGK moulded into the cap in brown. Two straight, two angled.
Those black ones look fake to me as the branding does not look right somehow - see how different they are to the DS ones in their photo. They look more like car ones with the cheap white paint on the logo.
The genuine NGK ones are quite expensive iirc.
If you look at the DS ones although in Black the NGK markings are like mine cast into the moulding.
beardylondon:
Funny you say that, as I took a screen shot of the below from David Silver last year, says aftermarket, but marked NGK, and they were red, now I can't find the red ones, only black on their website;
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Yes those Brown ones look really shiney compared to mine that are a slightly duller finsh as well as a different shade of brown - might be NGK make different quality caps for different markets.
As Bryan fitted mine I suspect they are the real McCoy.PXL_20240415_145642823 by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr
