Stock length of plug wires? CB750

I'm going to try a coil mod on my CB750 and need to get some new plug wires. Not at home to measure though.. anybody know what the stock length is? I can buy wire by the foot.

16" is more than enough. My spare set of stock coils measure two at 13" and two at 7 1/2". Leave them long until you have the coils remounted, and cut them to give the best routing allowing a little extra for those times when you have to trim them to freshen up your connection to the plug cap.

Probably a stupid question, but should plug wire's be the same length?

I used them both ways - ie short 2,3 and long 1,4 and now I have them all the same and if it makes a difference, I dont feel it.

The plug wires only need to be the same length if you are using suppression wires, as the resistance needs to be constant.
