Default Screamin' Eagle or Accel wires?

Are these plug wires comparable,or is one better than the other? I have the SE 10mm wires on the bike now,but was considering the Accel 300+ wires which are 8.5mm.

Pretty sure you wouldn't notice a difference with either. Either one would be fine.

neither one is any better than stock, great for looks if you like red, yellow, etc. but don't expect a performance gain cause there won't be none

If you're running an EFI bike, you need to make sure the wires are compatible with the ion-sensing anti-knock system. Accel does have those wires.... I'm sportin the blue ones.... to go with the bike.
