Accel Plug Wires
Found this Thread over at the HTT Forum, I trust anything Steve at GMR-Performance says.

That thread appears to be discussing the COP (coil on plug) solution from Accel for the 2006+ bikes. Not sure what I'm supposed to glean from it with regard to a conventional remote coil setup. Maybe I'm missing something?
Well I am not sure which exact product the OP might be interested in, but the Thread does establish a good company reputation and testing of one of their products. If they take care of ion sensing and knock control with this product, I think simple connecting wires would be even easier to make right.
Accel has been in the performance ignition game for 50 years. Mostly a solid reputation in the car world. They know a thing or two about ignition, but the Harley ion-sense knock prevention method is unusual (in my experience). Generally, performance coil wire guys are shooting for minimum resistance without excessive electromagnetic issues. I believe the ion-sense relies heavily on a specific wire resistance to function correctly.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm an old-skool guy at heart. I mostly just work on new stuff when it breaks.
If I'm correct in my understanding of how the ion-sense works, it may be as simple as checking the resistance specs of the OE wires vs any prospective aftermarket replacement....if the data can be found.

Set them an e-mail. Waiting for reply.
I've been running blue ACCEL wires for about 5 years now.. no issues, no codes. I'll see if I can find the exact wires I bought....
