You can totally make your own wires. It is very easy to do. I recently did this. Its also less expensive this way.
Get a length of solid core copper (not carbon) spark plug wire and 4 spark plug boots.
Take off seat
Take off tank
Unhook battery (just to be safe)
Cut wire to appropriate lengths (use old wires as guide)
Attach wires to boots (might vary depending on boot, but for me it was just removing a cap, pushing the wire into the boot and putting the cap back on)
Unhook one old wire from the plug and unscrew where the wire joins to the coil
Move screw cover from old wire to new wire and push end into coil
Screw in tight
Repeat for each wire.
Other than the wire cutting and joining the wire to the boot you have to do these steps even if you bought a ready made set. Buying the set basically means they're just cut and assembled for you, this is really the easiest piece of the procedure.
Spark plug wires. D'oh!
The boots are cracked, they look like they're original, and I don't really want 31 year old spark plug wires on my bike. Since I don't know wtf I'm doing to build my own (you know, just order the boots, the coil screw-on part, and the spark plug wire itself) I just want to get some new wires, remove the tank, throw the new wires on, and do it back up. Should be a 10-minute job if I can get the seat back on...
That's how the tank makes me feel...
