VtwinStorm Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Does anyone have a source? Other than MG Cycle, I can't seem to find them anywhere. No one seems to have the caps. Gotta get the red set...too sexy. Thank you all!
Tomchri Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Just Google NGK spark plug wires. I use them on my bike. Cheers Tom Sent fra min SM-A525F via Tapatalk 1
docc Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 The early Sport used Champion resistor caps. Later V11 were NGK. I have gotten the red Champions from a scooter supplier in the UK (Champion is UK, as in Albert Champion or "AC", as in AC/Delco) . . . Let me find contact info . . . 1
docc Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 I'm not finding that source in the UK, but web search "Champion PRO5U" and you'll have multiple sources . . . 1

Hmmm... while I'm greasing the u joints, might as well replace the entire clutch assembly. Just a simple 8 hour (?) job... Anyone have the OEM or Champion part number for the OEM red spark plug wires? I already found the caps and ordered them. Grazie!
docc Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Epic thread drift. I promise to report myself to myself. No, really, the front UNI is >approachable< on an early RedFrame. It is. It is. 4

Yes, what are the OEM early RedFrame red spark plug wires? I don't think these are Champion. I am also looking to replace mine. They are quite long, actually . . . They appear to measure 7mm (7.5mm?) outside diameter.
docc Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 What is wrong with this 7.5 mm solution at $1.99US/foot? https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/standard-ignition/performance/ignition/spark-plug-wire---bulk/283f648a25cc/standard-ignition-7-5mm-100-foot-primary-ignition-wire/std0/cc75c?pos=4 [edit: okay, shipped to me (in the USA) with taxes, five feet of this wire is $22.68US. Four feet is probably enough, but I hate to come up short. Coil end connectors must be added, but these should "screw" into the spark plug 90º angle connectors.]

From the Parts Catalog, here is the Moto Guzzi part number for the early Sport, red, "HT wire": GU01718330 1
docc Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 There is this: https://www.harpermoto.com/spark-plug-wire-01718330.html Whether this is actually available? Call Curtis on the phone and ask. 1
