RE: looking for yellow plug wires for bob
I got my info from here.. just trying to help.. CYA.. Skee
General Harley Davidson Tech Forums
aframe2..I have a pair of braided chrome plug wires that I wanted to install on my 06 Road King Custom. The Harley dealer told me not to have them installed because I would have trouble with the wires shorting and arking. Has anyone had this problem? The Brand is Magnum and they are Sterling Chromite II

That is correct....
The factory ignition system carries not only the main power to ignite the plugs, but also carries a constant 80 volts to be used as a sensor for the ECM to validate the complete and thorough combustion....
It's called ION Sense....
Any modifications to the Ignition Coil Secondary system (Aftermarket Plug Wires or Plugs) normally result in a CEL (Check Engine Light) and arcing/burning of wire sheathing....

I have the chrome standard ones, I read all the talk about the probs with SE wires not working right, so I ohmed these out compared to the originale and the resistance was a little higher, but I used them anyway, with the idea if they did set the cel on I would change them back....no problem so far.

Don't know about any other plug wires but I've had the S/E ones on my bike for about 7 months and have had no problems.

C'mon, guys!, They're 20 bucks, take a chance, what kind of Harley ridin', beer swillin', hell raisers are y'all, if they don't work on your bikes, put the stock ones back on! They worked for me and I'm sure others, you got a bike to have a toy to play with, didn't ya. Sometimes you guys act like rice burner riders.
