The manual for my '08 FXDB has plugs changed out at 20,000 miles. Wires shouldn't need to be changed unless you have a problem, or they show signs of wear, but I'd change those at 20K also.

Change the Plugs keep the wires (with only 7K miles on them they should be fine)

The manual on the '06 says to replace the plugs at 10K, as already mentioned the wires should be OK, unless you just want to go
for a new look.

That's a pretty crappy answer. Why don't we just answer everybody's questions with "go read the manuel". Wouldn't be much of a forum.
