Is it the wires themselves that are cracked, or just the caps? If it's just the caps, nice NGK caps are cheap at Z1 Enterprises. I can't remember which off the top of my head, but I know the correct part numbers have been posted in the tech section. A search should turn them up.
The wires are glued into the coils, and from what I gather,it's not a sure thing that you can get them out. This has been discussed a few times also, so search for that too.

I kinda like the shrink wrap idea. 
Have not heard of it being done, but there's no reason it shouldn't work.
The plugs you need are available at just about any auto parts store. I usually get mine at Auto Zone because they are only about half a mile from my house. If they are out, I have to go about 3 miles to Pep Boys. The plugs you are looking for are NGK B8ES. Accept no substitutes. They are usually less than $3 each.

Why does he need a plug wire splicer? :-k
Just unscrew the stock plug caps, trim about 1/4" from the end of the wires, slide a length of shrink-wrap tubing over the entire wire, screw the new plug caps on. No splices needed.

I have never liked the idea of the Suzuki intergral coil and plug wire set up, are there any coils with the loose plug wires that can be unscrewed and replaced, ala Kawasaki, that are a compatible bolt on mod?
I also like the shrink sleeve idea, would make a very neat job, I suspect that one would have to get the thickest shrink sleeve you can, as I am not sure how well it would insulate HT voltage, as it was never designed for that, maybe two layers?

When I was trying to diagnose a no fire problem, I swapped KZ550 coils onto my GS. They were a direct bolt, and had removable wires. They also ran the bike, but just in the garage. Don't know how well they would hold up in actual use, but I expect they would be fine.
Another idea I have had is the tool handle dip you can buy. I don't know if it will insulate though.
