Pictures would be good?

Pictures of what?

You're modified standard plug caps if course. 

They are just standard caps with NGK resistors inside minus the little shim as it wasn't requires. They dont look any different

I'm very interested in how you've fitted the removed NGK resistors mentioned above into the OE plug cap?

Also if you're OE cap cracked as is possibly the case with this thread, how what you've done is going to sort the issue?

If you read the original post you would see that I fitted the SD10F caps to my sons bike, but didnt do so to my own. If the caps are cracked then you have to fit new ones, but this is not as common as the Carbon resistors breaking down and and corrosion of the brass inners causing the tracking 
I just said what I did to my own. My friend who was a mechanic, (RIP) had a few Damaged SD10F caps he was going to throw out, but I took them and dsimantled one, but it took so long I broke open the rest. Then dismantled my own and just swapped out the resistors. They are a few mm longer than the Yamaha resistor,s but still fit. I also mention in the original post how to remover the inners of the Original.

I'm interested in how you dismantled yours, fitted the resistors and are using them, hence the pictures?
