Are they 5K ohms? Anybody know the NGK part number?

Man those look sweet. I've got a green tank though...

Are they available at autozone/advance, or do I need to go to an mc shop or order online?

Originally they were 10K.  5K will work.  It just taxes the points and condenser more.
The inner 2&3 boots were different than the outer 1&4 boots,
This will give a breakdown of what the letters/numbers mean:

1&4 were XD10F
2&3 were VD10F

I couldn't find any 10K's so I went with the 5K versions and they do fine.  The numbers are XD05F & VD05F and BikeBandit has them for less than $4 each.  Just put those part numbers in their search bar and they'll pop up.
