Default Need some help from the more experienced

I have a 2010 Street Bob and with Screaming Eagle spark plug leads. Ditched the plastic clip that separate the leads as the SE versions are too fat.

Now I can't find anything to fit and have had to fashion something out of a car part - which works but aint pretty.

I went to the local HD dealer and they first told me they didn't know what I was talking about; then they said HD do not offer this part with SE leads. So guys any idea where I can find something that will work?. Many thanks.

why don't you carve out the plastic clips a bit and reuse them?

Dag - that might be my best solution yet.

Rooti - I tried that and it's a piece of crap to cut as there's next to nothing to work with but thanks for responding.

Just wondered if anyone else has seen anything that would look neat otherwise I'll go the zip-tie route.

If there is enough meat around the existing cut-outs just drill them out. I did this on a car once. I just held the clip with some pliers and slowly pushed the drill bit thru. Hope that helps.

Ran into same problem. I bought a 4-wire keeper, cut it down to 2-wire and used Dremel to enlarge. If you mess up the first try, you have a second to 'perfect' your technique. Look for the Help brand at local auto parts store for the keepers. Since I did that I've seen the SE 10mm wire sets WITH keepers online. Don't recall where tho. 10mm keepers must be made 'somewhere' and why a H-D dealer doesn't know this....?

Did you check with JP Cycles or Dennis Kirk or Drag Specialties? Perhaps one of them would have a wire loom that is the right size.....

Try a "zip" tie, with a short piece of automotive vacume hose. Slide the tie thru the hose, around one wire, then back thru the hose, and around the other wire, then fasten the end. works good for me.

Hope this helps

Best wishes....Tim(HT)
