Sorry I can't speak to the Accel's but I've had Hot Fire wires on my bike for a good 5,000 miles no problems. I got them from JP Cycles.

Is your gift card specifically for the Accel/Holley website? Could you use it for something else?

Yes I can use it for whatever I want. That is why I don't want to waste it on the wires if they're not gonna work.

Accell plug wires spec'd for your H-D will be the correct length, proper boots and correct resistance as any other brand would be.

Any aftermarket component i.e. oil filter, air filter, spark plug are made to the manufacturers spec's. No one has a single part number for universal fit. You cannot just order a set of wires. They will need year make and model.

No codes would be thrown.

Yes you can. That's the only kind I buy for my Chevys. The pre-made sets fit like ****. Hell, you can buy bulk wire on 100' spools and crimp on spade terminals if you want.

Still haven't heard a thing back from Accel. Been 4 days now. They said they would answer within 48 hours. "Fitment chart" says the wires will fit from '99-'15 Dynas.

They also state that the Accel wires are 800 ohms per foot. How does this compare with the stock Harley wire ohms per foot? Seems like they should be OK if the ohms per foot is the same.

I believe the resistance is listed in the service manual with the rest of the ignition test procedures. Been a while since I looked. I know the coil specs are in there...

Regardless, you can easily measure yours.

Not sure what year your bike is. This is from the '09 manual I have:

Based on that, you need ~250/660Ω per INCH.
