Spark Plug Wires?

Post by MosquitoJones » Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:59 pm

What's the proper/correct spark plug wire for a CB77? Mine doesn't have any, they've been lost in the winds of time. I noticed Retro Bikes has a set of 4 in 7mm for only $20. I just ordered some other stuff from them and they were so good/quick that I'd like to give them return business. They mention the ones they have are for Dyna which I don't have on my bike.

MJ, you want 7mm copper core, not silicon core wires. I was able to buy it bulk at my local nara auto parts.

MJ,

I was unable to find bulk solid core in stock at the local auto shops. In a previous post someone mentioned getting a set from Tractor Supply and that’s what I did. I got a set for a 6 cyl tractor and paid about $16 for a set of 6. Of course the ends supplied with the set aren’t useful but the price isn’t bad if you have multiple bikes in need.

Thanks for the replies. No Tractor Supply around here, but I'm sure an auto parts store has some.
