Do you have to replace the coils to put on new plug wires.
It looks like the go into the coils and sealed.

What year is your bike?  Can you post a picture of your wires/coils?  Why are you replacing the coil wires?

More info, please.

On my 81 DOHC they unscrew and are pressed on.  However, like Luke said, please give more details

75k, someone had allready clip the ends, so they are allmost to short. ends are loose fit now
and not enough to clip again. I see were the go straight into coils. Do the wires come out
like the do on the plug cap ends.

Pretty sure it's exactly the same on the SOHC's, but here is a link to where I discussed changing out the spark plug wires:

Z1 Enterprises sells a coupler for the plug wires. It screws on to the cut end of the old wire, then the new wire screws into the other end.

Mike,
are you saying the plug wires will come out of my coils. There is no coupler connection there.

SOHC coils have the wire made into them. That's why I told, you about the splice connector.
