No, the engine information for a Honda Shadow VT1100 cannot be used for a 2001 Honda ST1100. The VT1100 has a V-twin engine, while the ST1100 uses a V4 engine. They have different designs, components, and configurations.

On the Honda Shadow VT1100, the spark plug wires should be connected from the ignition coils to the correct spark plugs as follows:

- The VT1100 has a dual-plug per cylinder ignition system, meaning each cylinder has two spark plugs.
- The bike uses two ignition coils, each responsible for firing one plug in each cylinder.

### Coil-to-Spark Plug Wiring:
1. Front Cylinder:
- One spark plug wire from the front coil goes to the front cylinder's front spark plug.
- One spark plug wire from the rear coil goes to the front cylinder's rear spark plug.

2. Rear Cylinder:
- One spark plug wire from the front coil goes to the rear cylinder's front spark plug.
- One spark plug wire from the rear coil goes to the rear cylinder's rear spark plug.

### Firing Order and Coil Function:
- Each coil fires both plugs simultaneously using a wasted spark system.
- Even though a plug fires in a cylinder that is not in the power stroke, it does not affect performance.

### Wire Connection Guide:
- Front ignition coil wires connect to:
- One spark plug in the front cylinder.
- One spark plug in the rear cylinder.

- Rear ignition coil wires connect to:
- One spark plug in the front cylinder.
- One spark plug in the rear cylinder.

This setup ensures proper ignition timing and efficient combustion.
