lb05f ngk caps on 78 gs1000?

[Guest]

i know i need 2 xb05f caps but motorcycle superstore said i also needed 2 lb05f not the vb05f like i thought so would the lb05f caps work on a 78 gs1000 sorry about the noob question but want to make sure before buy them

For 8 valve GS motors, I like to have two of the long 45^o angled caps for the inner plugs, and two of the shorter 45^o angled caps for the outer plugs.

Don't know what the numbers on them are, but you get the idea.

I like the VB05F for outboard:




And the XFD05F for inboard:


I don't think the short 90s you posted the link to would fit very well on the outboard, and not at all inboard.

thats what i was thinking

The short 90s fit the outside ones ok, but you need longer leads to make sure they sit nicely with the leads coming in from the front or back.
