Default Plug Wires
I need to put some new plug wires on because Cha Chi my Engish bulldog decided they looked like a toy when they were hanging there during my spark plug change. I have some spare 8.5mm MSD wires in the garage from my race car if they would work I think they would be better than the stock ones. Here is a picture of Cha Chi after I gave him ****...... hard to stay mad at him

New tech breakthrough - invisible digital pics. They take up zero space.

Are the pics too large? There is a maximum size (k) limit.

or... upload them to photobucket and then copy/paste the [img] link into your post.

I have heard that some wire types mess with the ION sensing system that HD uses to sense pings and retard timing (its calibrated to specific wire and plugs). If you want to be sure you are not disabling the ION sensor, I think you have to use OEM HD wires and stock plug type.

That's what I had been told also. I just ordered a PC-V from Jamie @ Fuel Moto so I will give him a call to run it by him.
