Just received my new Nology coils, Irridium Plugs and New wires, Thanks Brent.

Any recommendations for proper gapping with this setup?

I have the Freak, 45 Pilots, 150 Mains and Bubs.

Input from experience greatly appreciated...

They're going to make a better spark so you can likely exceed the regular 0.8mm~0.9mm. I'd try 1.0mm and see how she flies.

I went with the "Premium" wires. I like the chrome plug surround better than the colored wires of the Nologys.

Hi! Beavis, I bought the nology coils for my bike, and I still have the stock wire set, I did installed the "side gap plugs" I wonder the diference between the two, the bike is lots stronger then with the stock coils especially up hill under havy loads, please let me know how your bike runs after you intalled the coils, I'm contemplating on the premium weres and plugs. Thanks for any input

Good show!!

I gapped my iridiums @ 0.9mm and she runs like a bandit. The Bremi "premium" spark plug wires are really nice too (1k ohm instead of the stock 5k ohm.) Seems to run smoother, and stronger overall. I'm pleased as punch.
