I recently had a set of custom (or is that fully kustomz?) TopGun 8.8mm leads made up; 4x plug leads & 1x coil lead - 90 degree bends at each end including coil.
Cost was $78.
Choice of red or black. I went red because they carry the spark quicker and will probably make it go faster too. (I hope, from what I have read on other forums).

I even read on here that new leads can increase idle speed by 300rpm.
(what a crock of sh1te!)

I would have anticipated at least a 10-15% Hp gain with those red leads?

I use the $5 Bosch leads from supercheap. Walk in a buy the lengths you need. Come in straight or elbow out of the dizzy. You would be silly to spend more??

$5.95 now, and as I said before in another thread they have an inductive core (.05mm wire wound round fibreglass strands), not a bit of string with graphite powder in it. :lol:
So they don't seem to gain resistance with age- mine are 4-5 years old and still measure 1.5-1.8 Kohms depending on length.

How do you terminate the ends? Are the plug/cap connectors supplied? Not sure if our SuperCheap Stores would have them...

They are hanging in the Bosch lead rack.
I just use the standard leads (90° ends for the dizzy) but they are not that tidy. You can terminate them with your own ends, the bloke who mad GR's leads a while back was using Bosch cable for the `black' ones.
What I used-
Bosch plug leads-
3 x B35Ri,
1 x B45Ri
1 x B30CRi (coil lead)- change this if needed, I have a 500mm long one on it now.
