The coil terminal boots are a really tough find (for me, anyway). I found some reasonable items at a marine hardware store in the wiring section. A bit of exacto blade work needed to become acceptable. An electronics supply store would also be good to search. I've found it's best not to tell them it's for a motorcycle! Some of the replacement condensors would come with the boots (in the "old" days), but I don't believe that happens any longer. Regards, Chase

Chase, thank you! So it's not just me that can't find them. You know, it probably won't hurt a thing to run without those boots, but I'd like to stay as close to original as I can. Thanks again for the tips!
