So I want some blue spark plug cables bu I also want to stick with HD wires to avoid the possible issues with the ECM. Has anyone used plasti dip to coat the cables and if so would spray or dip be better.

 

Don't!
Just replace plug wires with some made up with same diameter if you are concerned...but FYI you shouldn't have problems provided you use quality wires.

Where do you get the idea that after market wires are going to mess up your ECM. But wife's made for your bike and no worries. Three are several manufactures to choose from.

 

There are plenty of people on this forum that have had issues with aftermarket plug wires causing ignition fault codes. And I have yet to find a single aftermarket plug wire provider that guarantees that their wires will not cause an issue.

 

Sounds like bollocks to me...but I ride an Evo, so I guess old skool does have its advantages.

 

I'm no mechanic. And I have also heard of issues with these wires. But I do know that HD "isn't" the sole supplier of these wires.

 

2007 fxd I went to se wires no issues, I personally thinks its horse **** about problems,,, How many cars are out their running aftermarket leads on their cars and no issues with their computers/faults, More nonscence from mechanically challenge nerds

 

SE wires are OEM and I would put SE OEM wires on my bike in a heart beat if they came in blue. I have put non-OEM wires on my 09 FXDF and so far have no issues (along with my coil relocation). But I also bought standard OEM wires from the blackline, just in case I have issues. The blackline wires have 3.2k OHMS of resistance and the non-OEM brand only have 0.4k OHMS. I will continue to use non-OEM until I have issues if ever but in case I do I would like to know if anyone has ever used plasti dip in th cable for another color.

The problem with this and other forums (like my wife) is they can't just answer the question asked. I didn't ask anyone's opinion on non-OEM wires. That's been discussed to death on several other threads. I just want to know if wires have been colored with plasti dip. My wife would like a set of hot pink with neon green stripe wires. I can do something like that with plasti dip but I will never find that for sale.

 

I do not know about plasti dip but I had a friend buy neon shoe laces and pull stuff out of inside them and slide over plug wires and then heat shrink ends so no fraying. it really looked cool and cost 2 bucks

 

That is a really creative idea!

To the OP, I have never heard of anyone using plasti-dip on plug wires, but I cannot think of any reason it would not work...the stuff does peel of pretty easy though, so handling the wires when plugging and unplugging from the spark plugs or coil may mess it up.

I think the only way you'll know is to try it.
