Default Accel Plug Wires

Anyone using Accel spark plug wires? Any problems with them throwing codes? Are they compatible with Harley's ION sensing system? Found a split wire on my 103 and wanna replace them with these. Thanks.

If you're just going for looks you can get the SE plug wires in yellow and red as well as black. They will be compatible with your system.

I know about the SE wires, but I have a gift card for the Accel wires, so I can get them for free if they work on my bike.....new Low Rider.

Anybody using these? Like to have some results from people who have them on their bikes.

I just put a set of their race wires on my 97 super glide and they made a huge difference in cold starting and riding. I don't know what kind of difference it would make on a newer fuel injected bike, and I'm sure the almost 20 year old factory wires on my bike were getting wore out anyways but I would definitely go for it.

'97 Carbureted EVO is an almost entirely different animal than a '15 EFI Twinkie.

The older bikes don't have the ridiculous resistance-based anti-knock system which makes selecting wires troublesome. We (the older bike owners) have it pretty easy in that regard.

Well, this apparently is a question that no one knows the answer to! I know the HD anti-knock system is finicky, that's why I'm asking. Even though they'd be free with the gift card, seems like a waste of $30 if they won't work with my bike. I'd like to find out BEFORE I buy them, if possible.

I can't speak directly for ACCEL, however, I am running Sumax 8mm Custom Colored Plug Wires - Blue 20634 (made by Taylor)

Have not had a single issue.

I've been searching for the same answer... haven't come up with anything solid.
