Tried searching for NGK and NGK cap but surprisingly didn't turn up an answer.

Does anyone know the NGK part number and a source for NGK caps for my 1974 R90S ?

Bought new ignition wires & NGK caps from this seller on EBay - http://myworld.ebay.com/bmwires?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Great service, quality & price - @ $20

I believe I ordered my NGK caps and wires from Bob's BMW. I would think that any BMW dealer that deals in airhead parts would probably have them.

I wouldn't think so because they're not original equipment parts.


Comprehensive source for BMW electrics is http://www.euromotoelectrics.com

Ideally you'd need the 5Kohm caps if you had straight low-resistance wires. Just go to Parts Unlimited catalog and search for 5K, 90-degree caps. Our shop sells them, usually about $5 each.

Snowbum has an extensive write up on NGK plugs at the bottom of this page:

The NGK caps I ordered for the R60/5 are 1 Ohm (points) and for the R65LS 5 Ohm (electronic ignition points)

90?? caps (LB05F)
45?? caps (VB05F)

the 05 designates 5Ω

$2.50-3.50 each at most bike shops

$20 for a set with wires from euromoto ... buy 'em.
