    Nothing will be better than something that is manufactured to fit your motorcycle.

    Good quality parts are available at most auto electricians ... at less than a quarter the price of specific make/model made up parts.

    What I really mean is -

    Any lead that has been manufactured with the 2 required ends on, is going to be far better than some Tard trying to make one.

    Yeh 100%, HT lead core is way way trickier to properly terminate than normal wiring.

    It entirely depends on the ability to replace/attach the new High tension leads on/to ANY specific motorcycle coils ... regardless of the quality of the product.

    Back in the day.... we bought coils of copper cored HT leads... We could get a variety of end to suit what ever old shit box we were fiddling with or even loop a few strands around the top of the plug... For an old speed twin or summat that was sweet...

    GSRX needs a bit better especially if you are riding it in the rain etc...

    Also - the size varies, the types vary and the end tend to be rather more diverse... Is it screened? Resistive caps?? Look - I'm not wanting to make this hard but factory is your safe bet - decent auto electric outfit next and work down..

    I understand where you are coming from but there is no replacement part for the lead alone. I would have to buy the coils. my coils are fine.
    So hence looking for cable.
    The only thing i can find online is people doing the same just replacing the cable
