Default Sparkplug wire question
What is the most popular color for plug wires? I see alot of red ones on bikes. I have Sumax Thundervolt black wires.

I had red when my bike had the black pearl paint with red stripes... Now I have black. Both are SE wire sets.... I run NGK irridiums too.

I run the Orange SE 10 mm ones on my vivid black bike and it looks badass. I think green ones would look cool too.

I have always thought that colored wires look cool, even on cars. Maybe cause it just looks faster!

Yep, the colored wires do look good on most bikes, but I'd guess black outnumbers all other colors combined by 10 to 1.

I tried red out for a couple of days. Still have them if I decide I want a change. But finally decided on Chrome Braided XS from uskoolines.
