I use NGK Racing straight Plug caps,

As I was able to down the fairing; I had working space, yes it was still little tight to pull the cord off the spark plugs, also it was jam so had to use screw driver to lift, my worst nightmare was removing small screw on rad cap even when it was fully exposed and accessible but damn thing was so tight! finally had to use pliers 😓

They (the sleeve/bush) are a snug fit on the porcelain as a rule.
I just removed the nipple / ferrule off the new spark plugs as suggested by a member and it helped 👍
