Default Cheap spark plug wires??

I would like to change out my spark plug wires for yellow or red wires but when I looked into it they were like $40! Why are the so expensive? Are there any that can be had for a reasonable price?

I think $40 is pretty cheap for a cosmetic mod. Cheaper then buying chrome. Get the Red. they are the fastest color.

I can't remember what I paid for my HD Screaming Eagle plug wires, but I doubt it was $40.

$10,000 + in your bike. Spend the $40. Really, just my .02.

I think I paid around $12.00 for the Screamin Eagle wires: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...lug-wires.html

The plug ends are on already and you have to terminate the coil side. I ended up taking the plug side off to position the Screamin Eagle logos on both left to right as well as locating them on the top side. The ignition coil boots in the kit don't fit and the ignition coil terminals are the wrong type, so I used the parts from my old wires. These wires are fat!

Look on J&P's website. I just looked the other day for colored wires and I think they were less. Also if they are less wait until a 10% off and free shipping event comes up

For the most part, this saying holds true: Good stuff ain't cheap, cheap stuff ain't good.
