Default After market spark plug wires

I changed my spark plug wires to a after market company on my 2013 cvo road glide, I could swear the bike is not performing the same , could it have a adverse effect?..

welcome from upstate new York
take a ohms meter and measure the resistance of the two set of wires and compare the lengths to see if they are the same reading. after market wires might not be the quality of oem wires.

Default Plug wires

Ok , I'll do that, or just put back the stock wires , I also noticed that when shifting it has that normal Harley clanging , and this bike with the hydraulic clutch , I didn't have that , it only has 175 miles, but something is different after today changing to the Taylor sumac 8mm wire ,
