Tim,
My ignition setup sounds very similar to yours, XR700, Lucas Sport
Coil, and Bosch platinums (which I swear by as I noticed a marked
improvement in idle and never a fouled plug even with the rocker oil feed
line). Two years ago I installed the Lucas premium silicone wire set for
250/6 and I am happy with the results. The fit is very good although I
think the #1 wire could be a bit shorter. The connectors have never come
lose or otherwise been a problem like I've had with other wire sets. The
insulation seems very good as well. I've old occasionally driven in the
rain (by accident -sorry TR don't get temperamental on me) and dampness
has not been a problem but you may want to get other opinions as I know
yours is a daily driver in the great white north. As I recall they were
reasonably priced at a local show, too.
