    Clips to hold the leads in coils?

    Is there a source for the clips that secure the plug leads into the coils? The ones on my GSX750ESD were stuck in with silicone, and barely hanging on for grim death!
    Thanks in advance.

    There were no clips in the stock coils.

    The wires were epoxied into place.

      Looking at the microfiche, it shows the original leads with clips on, but only available as coil and leads together. Just wondered if anyone had ever made any aftermarket clips/leads.

        My 85 1150 has clips to hold the wires into the stock coils, and the wires are removable. At least one clip is broken. I rigged a wire tie to secure it. Dont remember exactly how, but its been fine for several years.

          Early GS's use the epoxy but last generation bikes had the clips, which break easily. Maybe you could use epoxy like the early bikes? Not sure how well the epoxy would stick though.

            That's cool, epoxy should be fine. I was just hoping to use the original retainers. Cheers folks.
