I am looking for a pair of plug wires for my coil relocation.
They should be about 8" long and I want them to have a 90* boot on the coil end and a 135* boot on the plug end.
I really don't like the look of the ones I have seen so far because they look like they are too short. I'm not saying they are, they just look that way. Mostly because of the 135* boot on the coil end. It looks like it is being bent over because of how tight the plug wire is. Again, I'm not saying they are, they just give that appearance and I don't like it.
I found what could be the perfect set but I don't know if they will work. They are the Sumax 20035.
The description says
"Designed to provide necessary resistance for electronic ignition. Ferro-magnetic inner core provides 10 times the fire power of carbon core wires. Includes: (2) 8" leads with 90 degree coil boots, and 135 degree plug boots.
This item fits the following models:
2008-2009 Harley Davidson FXCW Rocker
2008-2011 Harley Davidson FXCWC Rocker C
2013 Harley Davidson FXS Blackline
2013-2014 Harley Davidson FXSB Breakout
2013-2014 Harley Davidson FXSBSE CVO Breakout"
Is there any reason these wouldn't work on a Dyna with a relocated coil?
There IS a "universal" MSD plug kit that fits "all" Harleys (except mine!) It comes with the 135° boots, straight boots, and 90° boots, crimper tool, crimp sockets, and two pieces of 18" (or so) wire with the 135s and 90s already crimped on. They intend you to cut off one end and crimp on the coil socket of your choice.
What bike AF?... just a note, the Delphi ECM anti-knock system used the resistance of the ignition system to determine anti-knock timing. Basically a flame-front causes ionization of the air gap of the spark plug.. decreasing the air-gap resistance. A measurement out of spec, and the anti-knock will disable itself.
At least that's how I understand the system to work. If you are not concerned about the anti-knock system, then you should be able to get plug wire kits from about anywhere... but I would use reputable sites like Summit.. etc.
I forgot to mention, I'm on a budget. Maybe I could use my stock wires and just change the ends.

It is my 2010 FXD. I am aware of the ion sensing anti knock. I feel that these plug wires are made of the same stuff as the ones meant for my bike, they just have different crimped on ends and boots. What I really want to know is whether or not the coil ends of these plug wires will attach to my coil.
The coil that the models listed for these coil wires have, is the granade shaped one. I have heard that it is not compatible with the late model Dynas because of the ion sensing system.
I got confirmation from the soft tail forum that the stock plug wires that go to the granade coil will fit the Dyna coil.
I ordered a set of the Sumax 20035 from Ebay for just under $30.
Cool. I was leaning toward those Sumaxes myself back when I was considering the horn/top motor mount location for my coil. The MSDs I ended up with are a bit bulky, but I didn't want to risk EMI from a long run of 5mm wire alongside my ignition signal wires.
